Running a property business in Muscat
Property in Oman is overseen by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, and a new Real Estate Registry Law is modernising how ownership is registered. Expatriates may buy in Integrated Tourism Complexes and, under recent rules, in more areas. Lease contracts go on the municipality register. The Oman Tax Authority has applied VAT at 5% since April 2021, and Fawtara e-invoicing is planned in phases, starting with a pilot for about 100 of the largest taxpayers in August 2026. RealMake keeps invoice data structured, so moving to Fawtara builds on records you already hold.
