The Investment Case

6 Key Pillars: Why Invest in Oman Property?

10% Tax Today, Low Tax Tomorrow: Retain More of Your Profits

In the UK (HMRC), USA (IRS) and Canada (CRA), rental income and capital gains are heavily taxed. Oman currently charges 0% personal income tax, 0% capital gains tax and 0% annual property tax. From 1 January 2028, a 5% personal income tax will apply only to individuals with net income above OMR 42,000 (~$109,000) a year.

The Investor AdvantageMaximise net yields and keep far more of every dollar or pound earned on rental income and resale gains.

2100% Freehold Ownership for Foreign Buyers

Through government-designated Integrated Tourism Complexes (ITCs) such as Al Mouj, Muscat Bay and AIDA, foreign investors enjoy 100% absolute freehold ownership rights.

The Investor AdvantageFull legal title deeds with complete rights to sell, rent, lease or pass down property to heirs, with no local sponsor required.

3Investor Residency & the 10-Year Golden Residency

Owning property in Oman opens the door to sponsor-free, long-term residency for you and your family.
