Tax Stamp


Description

The digital tax stamp on Excise products is a monitoring program, which is implemented by the Tax Authority. It is imposed on the manufacturers of excise products and parties involved in order to promote compliance with international standards in the import and trade of these goods in the Sultanate of Oman. The Digital tax stamp Certify™ system allows to put customized digital stamps on certain products to monitor and track their movement from factory to consumers. These stamps help to enforce the regulations which aim to avoid the illicit trade in excise goods. In addition, the digital tax stamp scheme asks manufacturers to place certain seals with a high degree of safety on all goods; so after enforcing this, the scheme will not allow the import of any excise goods to the Sultanate of Oman that do not carry effective tax stamps.
What is the purpose of applying the digital tax stamp scheme in sultanate of Oman? The tax stamps which is applied on the targeted excise goods aims to limit the circulation of counterfeit and adulterated goods in local market as well as to limit the operations of smuggling excise goods and resulting tax evasion.
