Does a proforma invoice include VAT in Oman?

It can show the expected VAT for information, but VAT is charged on the tax invoice, not the proforma.

Will the bank accept a DocMak proforma for a letter of credit?

Banks accept any clear proforma whose names, goods and values match the credit application.

Can I quote in US dollars?

Yes. Add the OMR equivalent so the buyer can budget in rials.

Goods for Oman land at Sohar, Salalah or Duqm, or cross from the UAE by road, and the Omani buyer's bank wants a proforma before it opens a credit or releases a deposit. DocMak prepares it with the price, validity, Incoterm and origin set out clearly, in Omani Rial or the currency of the sale.

Proforma or tax invoice?

A proforma states what you will supply and at what price; it does not charge VAT or create a tax point. When the goods are delivered or paid for, the VAT-registered supplier issues the tax invoice with 5% VAT where it applies.

Title it “Proforma Invoice”
Show the price excluding VAT and note that VAT applies on the tax invoice
Give a validity date
State the Incoterm and named place

Free zones and special economic zones

Sohar, Salalah and Duqm have free or special economic zones with their own customs and VAT treatment. Name the consignee's zone and address exactly, because the buyer's customs agent will use your proforma to plan clearance.

Rials and dollars

The Omani Rial is pegged to the US dollar, so many suppliers quote in USD. If you do, add the OMR equivalent to three decimals so the buyer's finance team can raise the purchase order without converting.
