Muscat, May 21, 2025 — Starting June 1, Oman will require digital tax stamps (DTS) on imported beverages, including carbonated drinks, energy drinks, and other special beverages. This move aims to improve control, compliance, and transparency in the market.
The Tax Authority (TA) announced the implementation rules under ministerial decision No. 21/2022. Initially, the DTS scheme applied to cigarettes and later expanded to shisha and other tobacco products. Now, it will include excisable beverages.
An official from the authority said the goal is to create a sustainable tax system and ensure accountability across the supply chain.
From June 1, a customs obligation will prohibit entry of imported beverages without digital tax stamps. Starting August 1, a commercial obligation will ban the sale of unstamped beverages within Oman’s local market.
To support this rollout, the TA began awareness workshops, field inspections, and media campaigns on May 18 in Musandam, North, and South Batinah. These efforts aim to educate importers, distributors, and retailers to ensure a smooth transition.
This initiative is part of Oman’s ongoing strategy to adopt international best practices in tax administration, focusing on products with high consumption and public health concerns.
