Yes. Muscat Auditing and Accounting Services is a fully licensed and registered professional services firm in the Sultanate of Oman. Our audit partners hold valid practising certificates issued by the relevant Omani regulatory authorities, and our tax practitioners are registered with the Oman Tax Authority (OTA). All our engagements comply with applicable professional standards, including International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and IFRS.

We believe in complete fee transparency. Most of our engagements are offered on a fixed-fee basis agreed in advance, so there are no billing surprises. For complex or ongoing advisory mandates, we offer flexible retainer arrangements. Following an initial consultation — which is complimentary — we provide a detailed scope of work and a fixed fee proposal. We do not charge for the initial consultation.

Absolutely. Our tax team has extensive experience managing OTA audit processes, responding to formal notices, and representing clients during tax assessments and appeals. We prepare comprehensive, well-documented responses and negotiate directly with OTA officials on your behalf. Our goal is always to achieve the most favourable and commercially sensible resolution while fully protecting your legal and financial interests.
