Can I issue Omani e-invoices in a currency other than OMR?
Table of Contents
Yes. Oman e-invoices can be issued in currencies other than OMR. The PINT OM specification requires the invoice currency to be identified using the ISO 4217 three-letter currency code.
However, Oman uses OMR as the VAT accounting currency. When the invoice currency differs from OMR, the e-invoice must include OMR as the VAT accounting currency, provide the applicable exchange rate, and represent the VAT amount in both the invoice currency and OMR.
This means ERP and billing systems need to handle both commercial invoice currency and OMR tax-accounting values correctly when generating the structured e-invoice.
Key points
- Foreign-currency e-invoices are permitted.
- The invoice currency must use an ISO 4217 currency code.
- OMR is the VAT accounting currency.
- An exchange rate is required when the invoice currency is not OMR.
- VAT must be represented in both the invoice currency and OMR.
- ERP mapping should support the required currency and exchange-rate fields.
