From booking to books in Sohar
Oman's Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning sets the property framework, and the new Real Estate Registry Law is updating how ownership is registered. Leases for units you keep and rent out are registered with the municipality. VAT is 5% through the Oman Tax Authority, applied in RealMake per unit type as your tax advisor instructs. Electronic tax invoices are scheduled to become mandatory under Decision 189/2026: from 1 April 2027 for businesses with annual supplies above OMR 5 million, and from 1 October 2027 for all other VAT-registered businesses. A developer below that threshold falls under the October date.
