MUSCAT : In an official statement, the Tax Authority has suspended the customs obligation of applying the Digital Tax Stamp on imported soft drinks and postponed the local obligation of applying the DTS on domestically distributed soft drinks until further notice. The measures are aimed at supporting procedural smoothness and ensuring the technical and operational readiness of producers, importers, and traders for the system’s proper implementation.

The decision, the Authority clarified, is strictly limited to soft drinks and does not affect other excise goods already subject to the DTS system. While the rollout for soft drinks has been delayed, the Tax Authority reaffirmed that implementation for other categories remains unchanged.
