Understanding the Omani Tax System
Oman has undergone significant changes in its tax regulations in recent years, introducing new tax reforms and compliance requirements. Our in-depth knowledge and expertise, built over a decade of working within Oman’s tax environment, enable us to guide businesses through the latest developments and ensure they take advantage of available tax incentives.
Key Tax Regulations in Oman:
1.Corporate Tax (CIT):
Oman imposes corporate income tax on businesses with taxable income. The general corporate tax rate is 15%, with specific rates for certain industries. Businesses must file tax returns and pay taxes within a set timeframe. Our team helps companies comply with these regulations, from structuring the business to filing tax returns.
2.Value Added Tax (VAT):
Oman introduced VAT at a rate of 5% in 2021, aligning with the GCC-wide VAT framework. VAT applies to most goods and services, with certain exemptions. Our team assists businesses with VAT registration, compliance, and filing of VAT returns to ensure smooth operations.
3.Withholding Tax (WHT):
Oman imposes withholding tax on payments made to foreign entities, including royalties, interest, and fees. The withholding tax rate varies based on the type of payment and the country of the recipient. We assist businesses in understanding and managing their withholding tax obligations effectively.
4.Economic Substance Regulations (ESR):
Oman implemented ESR to align with global standards. The regulations require businesses engaged in certain activities to have a significant economic presence in Oman. Our team provides advisory services to ensure businesses comply with these regulations.
5.Tax Exemptions and Incentives:
Oman offers various tax incentives to encourage investment in specific sectors, such as energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing. We advise businesses on available tax exemptions and incentive schemes, helping them maximize their tax savings.
6.Transfer Pricing (TP):
Oman follows OECD guidelines on transfer pricing, requiring businesses to ensure that transactions with related parties are conducted at arm’s length and documented accordingly. Our team assists businesses in maintaining proper transfer pricing documentation and complying with the relevant regulations.
7.Customs Duties:
Oman is part of the GCC Customs Union, which standardizes customs duties across member states. We assist businesses involved in international trade to navigate customs regulations and manage customs duties effectively.
