Corporate Tax Holiday of up to 25 Years
Each working company has a guaranteed 10-year exemption of corporate tax (normally 12% in Oman). This exemption can be extended up to the duration of the lease contract if certain targets in Omanization are reached, which can be for up to 25 years.
One-Stop Shop for all Relevant Clearance
Sohar Freezone offers a single window through which all licenses, permits, and approvals can be obtained. In practice, this means that Freezone clients require very little interaction with the various governmental institutions.
0% Import or Re-export Duties
No customs duties on goods brought into the Freezone. All customs processes are described in a dedicated set of Customs procedures.
0% Personal Income Tax
No customs duties for individuals coming in and working in the Freezone.

Access to a skilled local talent pool supported by government initiatives ensures a strong human capital foundation for your business.
Free-Trade Agreements
Leverage beneficial trade agreements with Singapore and the United States for expanded market reach.

Issue a No-Objection Letter from the MECA
Obtain a No-Objection Letter from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Affairs, confirming environmental compliance.
Due Diligence Process
Undergo a background check by the authorities to verify shareholder and company information.
The signing of the agreement
Finalize the incorporation process by signing an agreement with the Sohar Free Zone Authority.
Licenses & Benefits
Upon completion, receive your Commercial Incorporation Certificate, Chamber of Commerce membership, and a free PO Box.
