How much does e-invoicing cost in Oman?
The short answer
The Tax Authority charges no fee for e-invoicing and sets no price that a taxpayer pays a service provider. Each accredited provider sets its own prices, whether a subscription, a fee per invoice or another arrangement. We found no published price list among the providers we checked, so we do not print a number we could not verify. Your real cost has three parts: the provider's fees, adapting your software to produce the required format, and your team's time.
- Government fees: none. That is the Tax Authority's own FAQ.
- Provider fees: set by the provider, as a subscription, per invoice or otherwise.
- Software changes: depend on how open your current software is.
- Both of our checkers are free, with no signup.

What you do not pay
The Tax Authority's FAQ says the Authority does not charge any fees itself, and neither requires nor mandates any charges on taxpayers from service providers. The Authority levies nothing for being part of the system.
The OMR 6,000 paid-up capital, the ISO 27001 certificate and the operating history are the conditions for becoming a service provider. They do not apply to you if you only want to comply. The PINT OM specifications are published openly for anyone to read.
What you do pay for
| Cost line | Paid to | How it is priced | What moves it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accredited service provider fees | The provider you choose | The Authority says: subscription fees, transaction-based fees or other arrangements, depending on the provider's commercial model | Invoice volume, and whether connecting to your system and support are included or charged separately |
| Making your software produce the required format | Your software vendor, your own developer, or a systems integrator like us | Usually by the work required, not a standard price | Whether your software supports the format already, can have it added, or is closed and needs a layer that builds the file from its output |
| Your team's time and training | Internal | Staff time | How many people issue invoices and of what kinds. The Authority says it will provide workshops, user manuals and training videos |
Why we do not print a number
Because we could not find a reliable one. We searched for accredited providers' prices and looked at the public pages of several of them, and found that none publishes a price list and that all route you to a demo or a quote request. The figures that appear on blogs do not trace to a source anyone can check. This is the state of the market in October 2026, and we will update the page if it changes.
That is itself useful to you: do not accept a number presented as the usual price, and ask for written offers from more than one provider.
Questions to put to every provider before you sign
- What is the pricing model: a fixed subscription, per invoice, or a mix? What counts as an invoice, and do credit notes and consumer invoices count?
- Is there a setup fee or a fee to connect to my accounting system? Is the connection included?
- Is there a test environment for my invoices before the date, and does it cost anything?
- Is support available in Arabic, and during which hours?
- Is archiving included? The FAQ says storing invoices is the taxpayer's responsibility, so ask what the provider does for you.
- What happens if the provider's service goes down, and what is it committed to?
- How do I move to another provider later? The system lets you disconnect and switch, but ask about exporting your data.
- Who maps my system's data to PINT OM: me or you?
Is there a free government option for small businesses?
The Authority's FAQ describes only two routes for a taxpayer: choose an accredited service provider, or apply for accreditation yourself. We found no official source describing a free government invoicing tool for small businesses. That is an absence of evidence, not a confirmed no, and we will amend this paragraph the moment something changes it.
What it costs to work with us
The invoice checker and the deadline checker on this site are free, with no signup and a fair-use limit. Implementation we quote after understanding your systems, as others do, because what we price is the work itself: making your existing software produce what an accredited provider needs. You do not need a developer of your own for that. We are not an accredited service provider, so we do not sell the transmission and reporting of invoices. That stays with the provider.
And the cost of not complying
Read the penalties page for what the law actually says, and what we do not yet know.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an e-invoice cost in Oman?
There is no published standard price. The Tax Authority charges no fees, and each accredited service provider sets its own prices as a subscription, a per-transaction fee or otherwise. We found no price list among the providers we checked, so we do not publish a number.
Does the Tax Authority charge for e-invoicing?
No. The Authority's FAQ states that it does not charge any fees itself and neither requires nor mandates any charges on taxpayers from service providers.
Is there a free government tool for issuing e-invoices?
We found no official description of one. The FAQ describes two routes: choose an accredited provider or apply for accreditation. We will update this answer if that changes.
Do I have to change my accounting software, and what does that cost?
Not necessarily. The Authority allows your system to be retained under your arrangement with the provider, but it must produce the required format. The cost depends on your software: native support, the option to add the format, or a need for an intermediate layer.
Is your checker free?
Yes, free with no signup, with a fair-use limit. It is a structural check and does not guarantee the Tax Authority's acceptance.

Before you ask for any quote, know the size of the job
Checking a real invoice from your software shows what it is missing, so the offer you ask for is more precise and holds fewer surprises.
