“Tax Compliance” is a national digital awareness campaign launched by the Tax Authority in June 2023 to encourage individuals and businesses to meet their tax obligations, such as Value Added Tax (VAT), Income Tax, and Excise Tax, within the designated deadlines. The campaign mobilised 16 field teams of tax inspectors to enable direct community engagement and promote the use of the Authority’s e-portal, making tax payment simpler, more accessible, and more user-friendly.
In a steadily evolving economic landscape, the campaign seeks to support both individuals and institutions in adopting smart and responsible tax behaviours. It aims to increase awareness about the importance of registration and timely submission of tax returns, while also encouraging regular payments to avoid penalties and financial accumulations. It plays a pivotal role in combating tax evasion and fostering a society that is more informed of its rights and duties, within a transparent and fair tax system.
The campaign showcases a proactive model of community-based e-participation in Oman. Individuals and businesses interacted with campaign content using the hashtag #التزم_ضريبيًا (Commit to tax), which served as an open digital platform for sharing tax-related knowledge in a simple and effective manner. Through the Tax Authority’s official digital and media channels, and with the support of social media influencers and digital advocates, the campaign’s visual and written content reached a wide segment of society, highlighting an advanced level of public engagement and reflecting mutual trust between the government and the community.
“Tax Compliance” reinforces the importance of integrating digital awareness with community participation to promote a stronger culture of tax compliance. By leveraging digital platforms and enabling direct interaction, Oman continues to move confidently toward a more transparent, inclusive, and sustainable tax system, built on partnership, trust, and shared responsibility.
