Build an invoice in rials and see the VAT.

Add up to five lines, choose standard or zero-rated VAT for each, and get the subtotal, VAT and total in Omani rials to three decimals.

Rates are in OMR. The rial has 1,000 baisa, so OMR 12.500 is twelve rials and 500 baisa.

How VAT works in Oman, in six points.

TreatmentRateExamples from the Tax Authority

Source: Oman Tax Authority VAT FAQs

  1. Registration depends on your annual supplies

    A business must register once its annual supplies reach the mandatory threshold of OMR 38,500. From OMR 19,250 it may register by choice. Both amounts are set in a Chairman's decision (PDF).

  2. You apply online

    The application goes to the Tax Authority electronically. On approval it tells you your tax identification number, your registration start date and when your returns are due.

  3. Only registered businesses charge VAT

    No one may charge VAT unless registered with the Tax Authority. Registered businesses show their prices including VAT.

  4. Every taxable sale needs a tax invoice

    The tax invoice shows what was sold and the VAT charged. Keep tax invoices for at least 10 years.

  5. One return per tax period

    Returns are filed electronically after each tax period, even when no VAT is due. Output VAT minus input VAT is what you pay, or claim back.

  6. Exports are zero-rated

    No VAT is charged on exports of goods and services when the conditions in the VAT law and its regulations are met.

Points 2 to 6 come from the Tax Authority's VAT business FAQ (Arabic PDF), read on 2 November 2026. This is a summary to help you plan your books, not tax advice. More guides are on the Tax Authority's VAT guidelines page.

From sign-up to your first VAT report in five steps.

Your VAT figures build up as you invoice and record bills, so there is nothing to re-type at the end of the period.

  1. 1

    Your base currency is set from the country you choose at sign-up, so choose it carefully.

  3. 3

    Invoice your customers

    Pick the VAT treatment on each line and send the invoice by email.

Free accounting software in Oman: your questions

Is ProfitBooks really free for businesses in Oman?

Yes. The Startup plan is free with no time limit and no credit card. It covers 1 user, 10 invoices a month, 50 customers and 10 products. New accounts start on a free 15-day SMB Pro trial and move to the Startup plan unless you upgrade. There are no hidden fees.

Can ProfitBooks add Oman VAT to my invoices?

Yes. Add Oman's standard VAT rate and the zero rate as tax rates, then pick one on each invoice line. A standard-rated service and a zero-rated export can sit on the same invoice. ProfitBooks adds the VAT to the total and keeps it for your VAT reports.

Do I have to register for VAT in Oman?

It depends on your annual supplies. The Oman Tax Authority requires registration once they reach the mandatory threshold and allows voluntary registration from a lower threshold. Both amounts are set in a Chairman's decision published by the Tax Authority. Until you are registered, you cannot charge VAT.

How do I file a VAT return in Oman?

You file it electronically with the Oman Tax Authority after each tax period, even if no VAT is due. The Tax Authority tells you your return due dates when it approves your registration. ProfitBooks keeps your sales and purchase VAT in its VAT reports, so the figures are ready to review before you file.

Can I keep my books in Omani rials?

Your base currency is set from the country you choose when you sign up, and it cannot be changed after you log in. So pick Oman at sign-up. You can still invoice overseas customers in other currencies on the Growth plan and above, which include multi-currency.

Do I need accounting knowledge to use ProfitBooks?

No. ProfitBooks is made for business owners who are not accountants. You create invoices, record expenses and upload your bank statement, and the software makes the accounting entries in the background. When you want a second pair of eyes, share your books with your accountant online.

How do I move from Excel or other software to ProfitBooks?

Sign up on the free plan, add your customers, suppliers and products, and record new invoices from today. You can run ProfitBooks next to your spreadsheet for a month before you switch. If you get stuck, our support team answers questions Monday to Friday.

Do I need to download anything?

No. ProfitBooks is online accounting software, so there is nothing to download or install. Sign up with your email address and use it in your browser. The iOS and Android apps are there if you want to invoice from your phone.

Is my business data safe in ProfitBooks?

Yes. ProfitBooks stores your data on secure cloud servers with encryption, automatic backups and role-based access. You decide who sees what, and because your books are in the cloud they are safe even if your laptop is lost. The cloud data security page has the details.
