Production planning for Oman plants
Omani VAT, charged at 5% since April 2021, is collected by the Oman Tax Authority. A group with several companies files VAT for each registered entity, and Symake keeps the books and returns separate while planning runs across the group. Transfers between companies are invoiced with the right treatment. The national e-invoicing system, Fawtara, is arriving in stages. A pilot for a first group of large taxpayers was planned from August 2026, phase 2 is indicated for early 2027 and phase 3 for mid to late 2027. Madayn runs the industrial estates at Rusayl, Sohar, Raysut, Nizwa, Sur and elsewhere, while Sohar, Salalah and Duqm have free zones.
