Leases and rent in Salalah
Oman's Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning oversees property, and the Real Estate Registry Law is changing how ownership is recorded. Expatriates may own in Integrated Tourism Complexes such as Hawana Salalah. In Dhofar, leases are registered with Dhofar Municipality, and RealMake keeps the registration details and date on each contract. VAT at 5% has applied since April 2021 under the Oman Tax Authority, and the software applies the treatment your tax advisor sets. Fawtara e-invoicing is scheduled by Decision 189/2026: from 1 April 2027 above OMR 5 million in annual supplies, and from 1 October 2027 for other VAT-registered businesses.
