Leases and rent in Muscat
Property in Oman falls under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, and a new Real Estate Registry Law is modernizing registration. In the capital, leases are registered with Muscat Municipality, and RealMake records the registration details on each contract. The Oman Tax Authority has charged VAT at 5% since April 2021. RealMake applies the treatment your tax advisor sets for each lease. Fawtara e-invoicing is scheduled under Decision 189/2026: from 1 April 2027 for taxable persons with annual supplies above OMR 5 million, and from 1 October 2027 for all other VAT-registered businesses.
