Leases and rent in Oman
Property across Oman falls under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning. A new Real Estate Registry Law is modernizing registration, and expatriates may own in Integrated Tourism Complexes and, under recent rules, in more areas. Leases are registered with the relevant municipality, which differs by region, so RealMake records the municipality on every contract. VAT at 5% has applied since April 2021, and the software applies the treatment your tax advisor sets. Under Decision 189/2026, Fawtara e-invoicing is scheduled from 1 April 2027 for annual supplies above OMR 5 million and from 1 October 2027 for all other VAT-registered businesses.
