About Oman Personal Income Tax

Oman announced the introduction of a Personal Income Tax (PIT) effective January 1, 2028, making it the first GCC country to impose income tax on individuals. The tax applies a flat 5% rate on annual net income exceeding OMR 42,000 — approximately USD 109,000.

The tax is calculated on net income after allowable deductions (education, medical, housing, and charitable contributions). Taxpayers who optimize their deductions can significantly reduce their liability. High-earning expats in oil & gas, engineering, and banking sectors are primarily affected.
