Common Compliance Requirements
- Registration: Mandatory for all businesses handling excise goods.
- Record Keeping: Excise records must be preserved for five years, ensuring accuracy and audit readiness.
- Electronic Filing: Returns are submitted digitally through the Oman Tax Authority portal.
- Tax Suspension: Goods may be moved under suspension if stored in a licensed excise warehouse.
Key Business Challenges
- Complex Supply Chains: Importers and distributors must ensure each movement of excise goods is correctly declared.
- System Readiness: Many businesses need upgraded ERP systems to track excise obligations.
- Cash Flow Impact: Excise tax applies upfront at import/production, creating liquidity considerations.
summary
Compliance with Oman’s Excise Tax regime requires careful planning and robust systems. Businesses that act early will not only avoid penalties but also ensure smoother operations in the long term.
