VAT in Oman

The VAT rate in Oman is 5%, applied since April 2021.

How to calculate?

To add VAT: multiply by 1.05. Example: 1,000 × 1.05 = 1,050 OMR.

To extract VAT: divide by 1.05. Example: 1,050 ÷ 1.05 = 1,000 OMR.

Calculation Methodology

Formula used

To add 5% VAT: total = pre-tax amount × 1.05. To extract VAT: pre-tax amount = total ÷ 1.05, then VAT equals the difference between total and pre-tax amount.

Assumptions

The calculator assumes an Oman standard-rated transaction and does not include exempt or zero-rated supplies, tourist refund rules, or special recovery cases.

Source basis

This page is based on Oman Tax Authority VAT information. The official source remains the final reference for case-specific treatment.

Practical Examples

Extracting VAT from a 210 OMR phone purchase

Fatima bought a phone for 210 OMR (VAT-inclusive). Base amount = 210 ÷ 1.05 = 200 OMR VAT amount = 210 - 200 = 10 OMR The original price was 200 OMR and the tax was 10 OMR.
