## Questions people ask

### Is there income tax on salaries in Oman?

Not yet. The Personal Income Tax Law (Royal Decree 56/2025) starts on 1 January 2028, at 5% on income above OMR 42,000 a year. Until then only social protection contributions come off your salary.

### What pay counts for contributions?

The total wage: basic salary plus all allowances. Old age, disability and death and work injury are capped at OMR 3,000 a month; job security, maternity and sick leave apply to the full wage.

### Do expatriates pay social insurance?

No. The Social Protection Fund scheme covers nationals and GCC citizens; expatriates get an end-of-service gratuity under the labour law, and the employer pays 80.000 OMR a month for them.

### What about GCC citizens working here?

They stay in their home country’s scheme through the GCC extension of insurance protection and pay their home country’s rates.
