OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

Wholesalers sit between suppliers and retailers, invoicing hundreds or thousands of customers every month, often with route sales, credit terms and rebates. Under Fawtara each of those invoices must be issued as a structured e-invoice and delivered through an accredited service provider.

In wholesale, the volume of invoices makes small data problems expensive. A missing VAT number or an unclear unit of measure can mean many rejected invoices at once. We clean up customer and item data before go-live and design checks that stop bad invoices before they are sent.

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. Larger wholesalers will usually be in the April 2027 phase because of their annual supplies.

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.

COMMON CHALLENGES

What Usually Gets in the Way

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

Volume

Thousands of invoices a month leave little room for manual fixes.

02

Route sales devices

Handheld sales systems need to produce compliant data too.

03

Rebates

Rebates calculated after the sale must be issued correctly as credit notes.

04

Customer master data

Large customer lists often hold outdated VAT numbers and addresses.

THE FAWTARA MODEL

How Oman E-Invoicing Works

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

You issue the invoice

In your ERP, accounting or billing system.

Step 2

It is validated

Checked against PINT OM and Omani VAT rules.

Step 3

Your provider sends it

Your accredited service provider exchanges it over Peppol.

Step 4

The buyer receives it

Delivered to the buyer's own service provider and system.

Step 5

The OTA is informed

Tax data reaches the Oman Tax Authority through Fawtara.

FAQS

Common Questions

Can van sales devices issue e-invoices?+

Yes. Sales recorded on handheld devices are passed to the e-invoicing flow, so they are issued in the same compliant format.

How are rebates handled?+

Rebates are issued as credit notes that reference the related invoices, with the VAT adjustment shown clearly.

Can we still send one monthly invoice?+

Where your current practice and Omani VAT rules allow it, yes. We review your billing patterns during the assessment.

When does Fawtara apply to my business?+

It depends on your annual supplies. Businesses above OMR 5 million go live on 1 April 2027 and all other VAT-registered businesses on 1 October 2027. We confirm your phase during the assessment.

Can we send e-invoices straight from our ERP to the OTA?+

No. Fawtara uses a five-corner model, so e-invoices are exchanged through an accredited service provider. Your system connects to the provider, which delivers the invoice and passes the tax data to the OTA.

Do we have to replace our accounting system?+

Usually not. Most ERP and accounting systems can be connected to an accredited service provider. We check your system and recommend the simplest route.
