The period to register for Value Added Tax (VAT) in Oman has begun for businesses with an actual or expected value of annual supplies of between OMR 500,000 and OMR 1,000,000.
The period to apply for registration for such businesses is from 1 April 2021 to 31 May 2021, with an effective registration date of 1 July 2021.
