Issuing invoices is one of the critical aspects of the business. If your business is registered under VAT, a tax invoice needs to be issued on the supply of taxable goods and services. On the other side, a tax invoice acts as evidence for the customer and enables them to claim input Vat deduction. Thus, it is essential for a taxable person to issue a VAT compliant tax invoice adhering to the guidelines prescribed by the Oman VAT law and regulations.
