Self-declared checker
Check your Fawtara readiness
Use this result for planning, then confirm your taxpayer-specific period through the official OTA checker.
The short answer
To check when Fawtara becomes mandatory for your business, confirm your VAT registration, then verify your rollout period with the Oman Tax Authority's official checker using your VATIN — it is the authoritative, taxpayer-specific answer. The self-checker below gives a fast planning estimate and a readiness plan while you wait for that confirmation.
Question 1 of 2
Is your business registered for VAT in Oman?
Fawtara applies to VAT-registered businesses. If unsure, check your tax records or ask your tax adviser.
Who must comply, and when
OTA Decision No. 189/2026 (Official Gazette, 9 August 2026) sets two rollout groups by the value of annual supplies. Confirm which group your VAT number is in with the official checker above.
Group 1
Decision 189/20261 April 2027
Taxable persons whose annual supplies exceed OMR 5 million
Group 2
Decision 189/20261 October 2027
Taxable persons whose annual supplies do not exceed OMR 5 million
The OTA says it will notify each rollout group at least six months before its go-live date.
