What changed in Oman's e-invoicing rollout in August 2026?
Table of Contents
Oman's Fawtara e-invoicing rollout formally began in August 2026, marking the start of the first implementation phase. The Oman Tax Authority is introducing the system gradually rather than requiring every VAT-registered taxpayer to adopt e-invoicing at once.
Under the current rollout plan, the first phase targets 100 selected large VAT-registered companies. Selection is based on factors including revenue size, annual invoice volume, and technical readiness. The Tax Authority has also confirmed that businesses outside the initial group can adopt e-invoicing voluntarily with the necessary support.
The rollout uses Oman's 5-Corner Model, connecting the supplier, supplier service provider, buyer service provider, buyer, and Oman Tax Authority.
