As part of the ongoing “Tax Culture” initiative in Muscat Governorate, the Tax Authority of Oman, in partnership with the SMEs Development Authority, has launched the second phase of its public awareness campaign this time focusing on entrepreneurs and small business owners.
A key feature of this phase was an interactive workshop on Value-Added Tax (VAT), designed to educate entrepreneurs on VAT fundamentals, including calculation mechanisms and the submission process for tax returns.
The workshop also reinforced the critical role of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in driving Oman’s national economy and emphasized the government incentives available to support their growth and compliance.

Building Confidence in Oman’s Tax System
The initiative goes beyond just workshops. As part of its outreach, the Tax Authority has established support booths at key government institutions, including:
- The Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion
- SMEs Development Authority headquarters
- Ministry of Labor
These booths provide on-the-spot guidance for entrepreneurs, helping them resolve tax-related queries and gain confidence in Oman’s evolving tax framework.
“This initiative reflects our commitment to building a transparent, business-friendly tax environment that empowers SMEs,” said a representative from the Tax Authority.
A Step Toward Greater Tax Literacy
The “Tax Culture” campaign is part of a broader strategy to enhance tax literacy, promote voluntary compliance, and help Omani entrepreneurs integrate tax planning into their business models.
By engaging directly with the business community, the Tax Authority aims to demystify tax processes and support a culture of trust and partnership between government and private enterprise.
