Over five years, this compounds to <strong>USD 150,000 in additional cost<\/strong>.<\/p>\n    <p>However, Oman's 5% VAT (versus Bahrain's 10%) benefits businesses with significant domestic sales. A business generating OMR 500,000 in local sales saves approximately OMR 25,000 annually on VAT alone.
