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
