ClearTax (Fawtara e-invoicing)

Tier A · Listed

OTA-accredited Fawtara e-invoicing service provider (per ClearTax)

ClearTax, a product of Defmacro Software Pvt. Ltd., sells an e-invoicing platform for Oman's Fawtara system and says it is an OTA-accredited service provider and a Peppol-registered platform; FF News and TechAfrica reported the Oman Tax Authority accreditation in July 2026. It validates invoices against the PINT OM specification and connects to ERPs such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Xero and QuickBooks. It is a compliance layer on top of your accounting system, not accounting software.

Pros

+ OTA-accredited service provider for Fawtara (per ClearTax and July 2026 news)
+ PINT OM validation and pre-transmission checks
+ Ready connectors for SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Xero and QuickBooks
+ Muscat postal address listed on its Oman page

Cons

− No public prices: demo and quote only
− Compliance layer only: you still need accounting software
− Oman page offers no Arabic version
− A second vendor and contract alongside your accounting software

Oman note

Oman is phasing in mandatory e-invoicing (Fawtara) through accredited service providers. ClearTax's page lists a pilot for the top 100 taxpayers from August 2026, businesses with annual supplies of OMR 5 million or more from April 2027 and the rest from October 2027; the Oman Tax Authority's FAQ gives different phase dates, so check your own start date with the OTA. See our Oman e-invoicing guide.

Typical Oman pricing: Quote-based; ClearTax publishes no Oman prices and offers a demo booking instead.

Zoho (Books)

Tier S · Published prices

Cloud accounting with an Oman VAT edition and published USD prices

Zoho Books is cloud accounting from Zoho with an Oman edition that creates VAT invoices, applies VAT rates to sales and purchases and produces VAT reports for filing, in English or Arabic. Zoho publishes its Oman prices in US dollars, from a free plan for businesses under 50K USD revenue a year up to an Ultimate plan. It handles invoicing, bookkeeping and project time billing, not construction management.

Pros

+ Oman edition with VAT invoices and VAT reports for filing
+ Published prices and a free plan
+ English and Arabic interface
+ Projects with time and expense billing

Cons

− Accounting, not construction management
− No construction BOQ or job-costing module listed
− Oman site makes no Fawtara e-invoicing claim yet
− Extra users cost $2.5-$3 a month each

Oman note

Zoho's Oman edition handles VAT invoices and VAT reports, and its prices are shown in US dollars, not Omani rials. Oman Observer and Gulf News reported in August 2026 that e-invoicing (Fawtara) becomes mandatory in phases from April 2027; check your own start date with the Oman Tax Authority. Zoho's Oman site does not yet describe Fawtara support, so ask Zoho how it will connect before your phase starts.

Typical Oman pricing: Published in USD on Zoho's Oman site, per organisation per month, billed annually: Free $0 (revenue under 50K USD a year), Standard $15 (3 users), Professional $25 (5 users), Premium $35 (10 users), Elite $85 (10 users), Ultimate $200 (15 users). Billed monthly: $18, $30, $42, $99 and $249. Extra users $2.5 a month billed annually ($3 monthly). Prices exclude local taxes.
