Should an Omani PO show VAT?

Yes. Show 5% VAT separately so the supplier's tax invoice matches the order.

Does Fawtara apply to purchase orders?

No. Fawtara covers tax invoices, but suppliers will reference your PO, so clear PO numbers help matching.

Can I write the PO in Arabic?

Yes, in Arabic, English or both.

Getting ready for invoice matching

Once suppliers issue e-invoices through Fawtara, each one should point to an order you can find. Put these on every PO:

A unique PO number your suppliers will quote
Your legal name, address and VATIN
Supplier legal name, VATIN and CR
Line prices excluding VAT, 5% VAT and total in OMR

Interior and port deliveries

Deliveries to oilfield and interior sites need more than an address. Give the site name, nearest town, access requirements and a contact, and say whether delivery to site or to a Muscat warehouse is included in the price.

Local suppliers and in-country value

Where your contract tracks in-country value, mark Omani suppliers on the PO register; it saves time when you report local spend.
