Shop-floor control in Salalah
Dhofar businesses work under the same Oman Tax Authority rules as the rest of the country, with VAT at 5% since April 2021. Fawtara, Oman's e-invoicing programme, is being phased in. Its first phase was a pilot planned from August 2026 for around 100 of the largest taxpayers, and phase 2 (early 2027) and phase 3 (mid to late 2027) remain planned dates. Plants in the Salalah Free Zone and on Raysut Industrial Estate can run as separate entities, each with its own tax setup, under one Symake group.
