🇴🇲 Tax Overview — Oman
Corporate tax, VAT/GST, and key tax information for businesses operating in Oman.
Tax Treatment by Structure
Limited Liability Company (LLC)
LLCs in Oman are subject to 15% corporate income tax on worldwide income. Small companies with annual revenue below OMR 100,000 may qualify for a reduced 3% rate under certain conditions. VAT applies at 5% on most goods and services. No personal income tax. Withholding tax of 10% applies on payments to non-residents for royalties, management fees, and service fees. Dividends paid to non-residents are subject to 10% withholding tax. Oman has an extensive network of double tax treaties to mitigate cross-border tax burdens.
Closed Joint Stock Company (SAOC)
SAOCs are taxed identically to LLCs: 15% corporate income tax on worldwide income. The same VAT (5%), withholding tax (10% on royalties, management fees, and dividends to non-residents), and treaty relief provisions apply. SAOCs must file audited financial statements with the CMA annually, adding compliance cost but no additional tax.
