Convert your Bank Muscat statementOman has no personal income tax, but it has 15% corporate income tax on most businesses and 5% VAT since April 2021. The Tax Authority of Oman expects businesses to substantiate revenue and deductible expenses with bank records. Bank Muscat statements are the primary evidence because the bank dominates Omani corporate banking — most SMEs and large corporates bank there, often alongside an account at BankDhofar or Sohar International.
VAT introduction in April 2021 changed how merchant transactions need to be read in the statement. Post-April-2021 OmanNet POS entries may include VAT-inclusive amounts at the merchant rate. The converted CSV preserves the full transaction string so your VAT advisor can identify which input-tax-credit lines apply. Meethaq Islamic window repayments need to be classified as financing costs, not operating expenses, before they enter the tax computation.
For Oman corporate income tax: Bank Muscat statements prove revenue receipts and expense outflows that the Tax Authority traces against declared profit. Inbound SWIFT wires labelled with sender BICs are the strongest evidence of cross-border revenue. Outbound payments need to be categorised by deductibility (operating expense, financing cost, capital expenditure, related-party).
For Oman VAT: post-April-2021 merchant transactions appearing on OmanNet POS may be VAT-inclusive. The converted CSV preserves the full merchant description so your VAT advisor can identify which lines support input-tax-credit claims. The Tax Authority requires VAT-registered businesses to maintain transaction records for the regulator-set retention period.

Common challenges
When did Oman introduce VAT and how does that affect my statement?
Oman introduced 5% VAT in April 2021. Post-April-2021 OmanNet POS and merchant transactions may include VAT in the displayed amount. The bank statement does not separate VAT from the gross merchant total — that comes from the merchant's invoice or receipt. The Kashfbank export preserves the full transaction string so your VAT advisor can identify which lines support input-tax-credit claims.
Does the export keep OMR to three decimal places?
Yes. 1.250 stays 1.250. This precision is essential when reconciling against invoices or Tax Authority of Oman filings, where the smallest unit is the baisa (1/1000 of an OMR).
How are Meethaq Islamic financing repayments classified for tax purposes?
Meethaq Finance entries are tagged Islamic Financing — financing cost, not operating expense. The Tax Authority of Oman treats financing costs separately from operating deductions, and so does international corporate-tax practice. Keeping them separate in the export lets your tax accountant treat them correctly.
I have transactions both before and after the April 2021 VAT introduction. Are they distinguished in the export?
Yes by date. Pre-April-2021 transactions and post-April-2021 transactions both appear in the export with their original dates. Your VAT advisor uses the date column to filter: anything dated on or after 16 April 2021 falls within the VAT regime. Kashfbank does not annotate VAT status on individual rows — that requires the merchant receipt.
