Oman's diversification agenda is driving more Omani nationals and residents into international business, and the UK remains a favoured jurisdiction for company formation. Whether your UK company was incorporated for consultancy, property holding, or trade, keeping it compliant is a legal requirement.
The November 2026 Director ID verification deadline applies to you. As a UK company director based in Muscat, you must verify your identity with Companies House using a valid travel document — an Omani passport is accepted. Through Fileminder, an ACSP-authorised service, the entire process takes under 15 minutes and is done completely remotely.
Annual accounts must be filed within nine months of your company's financial year-end. If you miss this deadline, Companies House issues automatic penalties starting at £150 for accounts up to one month late, rising to £1,500 for accounts more than six months overdue. Continued non-compliance triggers strike-off proceedings.
The confirmation statement — an annual return confirming your company's basic details — is also required every 12 months. We handle both filings as part of our standard annual plans.
Local professional body
Professional accountants in Oman are overseen by the Oman Association of Chartered Professional Accountants (OACPA). Fileminder is ACCA-qualified and AAT-regulated — the UK professional standards that govern all our filings.
