Oman VAT calculator
VAT in Oman is charged on the supply and import of goods and services at 5% of the taxable value, unless the law sets an exemption or a zero rate.
Choose whether to add VAT to a price or take it out of a price that includes it, then enter the amount.
How it's calculated
- Adding VAT: VAT = price × 5%, and the price with VAT = price + VAT.
- Removing VAT: price before VAT = price with VAT ÷ (1 + 5%), and VAT is the difference.
- Results are rounded to three decimal places.
An example
An item priced at OMR 100 before VAT carries OMR 5 of VAT, for OMR 105 in total. If the price with VAT is OMR 105, the price before VAT is OMR 100.
