Methodology - Oman (2026)
Educational monthly model for tax year 2026 (annual = month x 12), currency OMR - not a payroll system, not a tax return, not tax advice. In 2026 Oman levies no personal income tax on salaries; take-home is reduced only by Public Authority for Social Insurance (PASI) contributions, and only for Omani nationals. Note: a 5% Personal Income Tax was enacted by Royal Decree No. 56/2025 and takes effect 1 January 2028 (on annual income above about OMR 42,000) - it is the first PIT in the GCC, but it is not in force in 2026 and is surfaced as an informational note only. Some 2026 figures are provisional pending the PASI schedule.
Employment
- No personal income tax on salaries in 2026.
- Omani / GCC nationals - PASI: the employee pays 7% (old-age, disability and death insurance) plus a 1% job-security (unemployment) branch, with the employer paying its larger share plus its job-security part. Net is gross minus about 7% plus the job-security branch.
- Expats: no PASI deduction at all - net equals gross. Instead the employer owes an end-of-service gratuity under the Labour Law (an employer cost, not an employee deduction).
- The PASI contribution base is capped at an insurable-wage ceiling. Note (2028): a 5% PIT applies from 1 January 2028 on annual income above about OMR 42,000 (Royal Decree No. 56/2025); it is not applied to 2026 take-home.
