OVERVIEW
Trading companies issue a high volume of invoices with a lot of variety: local sales, re-exports, sales to free zone customers, discounts, returns and price adjustments. Under Fawtara, each of these must leave your system as a structured PINT OM e-invoice with the right VAT treatment and the buyer's details.
The challenge for traders is usually consistency. Product codes, units of measure and customer VAT numbers are often entered differently by different branches or salespeople. We start by reviewing real invoices from your system, so the gaps are found and fixed before you connect to an accredited service provider.
Under Ministerial Decision 189/2026, VAT-registered businesses with annual supplies above OMR 5 million go live on 1 April 2027 and all other VAT-registered businesses on 1 October 2027, after a pilot with around 100 selected companies that started in August 2026. Both B2B and B2C invoices are in scope, and e-invoices must be archived electronically for ten years. Large traders above the threshold will be in the first mandatory phase, while smaller traders have until October 2027.
Webtel works with your finance and IT teams from the first review of your invoices to the first weeks after go-live. We map your data to PINT OM, connect your system to an accredited service provider and test real scenarios, so your team keeps invoicing the way it does today while every invoice meets Fawtara requirements.
CAPABILITIES
Standard sales invoices, credit notes for returns, and debit notes for price changes.
Buyer VAT registration numbers are checked before invoices are issued.
Zero-rated exports and re-exports carry the right tax category and reason.
Both business and consumer sales are covered, as Fawtara includes B2C.
COMMON CHALLENGES
These are the issues we see most often. Each one is planned for from the start, so it does not surface in the week before go-live.
01
Item names, codes and units can differ across branches, which leads to unclear invoice lines.
02
Customer records may not hold a valid Omani VAT number, which causes rejections.
03
Returns and price adjustments must always reference the original invoice.
04
Local, export and free zone sales each need the correct tax category.
THE FAWTARA MODEL
Fawtara, the Oman Tax Authority's e-invoicing programme, uses a Peppol-based five-corner model. Invoices are issued in the PINT OM format and travel through an accredited service provider, which delivers them to the buyer and passes the tax data to the OTA. Invoices cannot be sent from an ERP directly to the OTA.
Step 1
In your ERP, accounting or billing system.
Step 2
Checked against PINT OM and Omani VAT rules.
Step 3
Your accredited service provider exchanges it over Peppol.
Step 4
Delivered to the buyer's own service provider and system.
Step 5
Tax data reaches the Oman Tax Authority through Fawtara.
