Oman Tax Authority moves forward with e-invoicing implementation

The Oman Tax Authority (OTA) is advancing preparations for the country’s e-invoicing mandate, which includes a planned two-year rollout plan beginning August 2026.

On September 25, 2025, Oman’s Tax Authority (OTA) shared additional information via email with the 100 companies selected to participate in the pilot phase of the e-invoicing (Fawtara) Program. The communication outlined plans for a 5-corner model that will require invoice exchange through OTA-accredited service providers, as well as an implementation timeline:

November 2025: Publication of e-invoicing specifications on OTA’s official website;
December 2025: Release of Standards for Service Providers (SP) and the beginning of e-invoice workshops;
February 2026: Launch of a developer’s portal for SPs;
May 2026: Start of registration and accreditation process for SPs; and
August 2026: Planned go-live of the pilot phase.

Expected completion of the phased rollout of the e-invoicing mandate has been set to August 2028. Additional details are yet to be released by the OTA.

OTA outlines criteria for initial e-invoicing participants, focusing on business size and factors. Additional details are anticipated soon.

Willingness to engage in the trial phase

Oman finally restarts the work on the earlier announced e-invoicing adoption

OTA has signed agreement with Omantel to provide e-invoicing infrastructure. We expect additional aspects to be communicated in the near future

The Oman Tax Authority (OTA) originally planned to introduce e-invoicing in 2024. However, the rollout was postponed until further notice.

As in May 2025 the OTA has signed an e-invoicing agreement with Oman Telecommunications Company (Omantel), this sends a strong signal that the earlier plans are being re-engaged. This strategic partnership sets the foundation for an advanced e-invoicing ecosystem in Oman. We should get more information around further details, such as the planned CTC model, implementation timelines and technical specifications. But we can probably already now say with a fair degree of certainty that the earlier anticipated timelines for early-2026 will not remain.

Stay tuned with Pagero for updates as this initiative continues to unfold.
