GCC Tax Update Q2 2026
About the update
Oman's tax landscape continues to evolve as the country strengthens its alignment with international tax standards.
What's covered this quarter:
In the second quarter of 2026, a significant milestone was reached with the OECD granting transitional qualified status to Oman's Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (DMTT) regime and QDMTT Safe Harbour.
This development reinforces Oman's commitment to the OECD Pillar Two framework and provides greater certainty for multinational enterprises operating in the Sultanate. It also highlights the country's continued efforts to modernise its tax system while supporting compliance with evolving global tax requirements.
Understanding the implications of these developments is essential for businesses with operations in Oman as they prepare for the next phase of the international tax landscape.
