- Oman will require VAT-registered businesses to use mandatory e-invoicing under Decision No. 189/2026.
- Invoices must be issued, sent, and stored in an approved secure XML format; paper invoices, PDFs, and image scans will no longer count.
- The rollout is two-phase: 1 April 2027 for businesses with annual supplies over OMR 5 million, and 1 October 2027 for all other VAT-registered businesses.
- A voluntary pilot with 100 companies starts in late August 2026 to test the Fawtara platform.
- Non-compliance penalties range from OMR 500 to OMR 5,000 per violation, with possible business suspension; records must be archived electronically for 10 years.
