Register before importing

When do we register for excise?

The situation

Importers and producers of excise goods register with the Tax Authority before dealing in them.

The law

  • Oman Excise Tax Law (in force 15 June 2019): 100 percent on tobacco, pork, alcohol and energy drinks; 50 percent on carbonated and sweetened drinks
  • Income Tax Law (tax card): All taxpayers must hold a tax card; number shown on contracts, invoices and tax letters

What it means for you

Register on TMS with your tax card before the first import or production of excise goods. Without registration, customs clearance can be held. After registration, file a return for each excise tax period.

What to do

  1. Register on TMS.
  2. Link to customs.
  3. Import.
  4. File returns.
