Fawtara e-invoicing in Oman: get your systems ready

The requirement

What Fawtara requires

Fawtara is Oman’s national e-invoicing system, run by the Oman Tax Authority. Under Decision No. 189/2026, which amends the VAT Executive Regulations, tax invoices must be issued in an approved, secured electronic format and sent through a Tax Authority-accredited service provider. Paper invoices, ordinary PDFs and invoice images sent by email no longer count as tax invoices once the duty applies to you.
