Running a property business in Salalah
Salalah follows Oman's national property framework, led by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, with a new Real Estate Registry Law modernising registration. Expatriates may buy in Integrated Tourism Complexes such as Hawana Salalah and in more areas under recent rules. Leases there are registered with the municipality. VAT at 5% has applied since April 2021 under the Oman Tax Authority, and Fawtara e-invoicing is planned in phases, from an August 2026 pilot for the largest taxpayers into 2027. RealMake keeps the buyer, lease and invoice records these rules rely on.
