01
Legal issue
Proceeds from the sale of investments abroad form part of taxable income where the sale is an extension of the company’s business.
02
Published principle
The Arabic text published by the Supreme Court is the primary source. The English translation was published by the Technical Bureau; Russian and Chinese are unofficial Smart Global Capital editorial translations.
This is a published legal principle—an extract selected by the Supreme Court of Oman Technical Bureau—not the full text of the judgment.
Where a company realises profits from selling investments abroad, it is lawful to include the sale proceeds in taxable income if the transaction constitutes an extension of the company’s business.
03
Applicability
The decisive factual issue is whether the disposal extends the business or is a separate capital transaction. The tax law for the relevant period and later amendments must be checked. This is an account of the published principle, not a full judgment translation.
