VAT number on tax invoices
What changes on our invoices after VAT registration?
The situation
Registered businesses issue tax invoices showing their VAT number and VAT charged.
The law
- VAT Law, Royal Decree 121/2020: 5 percent VAT; mandatory registration above OMR 38,500, voluntary above OMR 19,250; quarterly returns due 30 days after the quarter
- Tax Authority Decision No. 189/2026 amending the VAT Executive Regulation (e-invoicing): Electronic tax invoices through accredited providers: from 1 April 2027 for supplies above OMR 5 million a year, 1 October 2027 for all others
What it means for you
Update templates to show the VAT number, VAT rate and amount. From 2027, invoices must also move to Fawtara e-invoicing. Plan templates with that in mind.
