With the introducti­on of value-added tax (VAT) in Oman from April, businesses in the country will have to adapt to newer, faster techniques to comply with VAT regulation­s.

Adopting robust digital solutions will be a good start as compared to manual solutions. The digital business management solutions not only simplify operations, but also facilitate users to comfortabl­y manage and grow their business without needing to know the finer nuances of accounting or technology. The key goal is to keep the user experience at core, offering speed, simplicity and flexibilit­y at all times.

Maintain records easily

A move to a business management software will help businesses to not only organise data, but also ensure that the financial records are easy to retrieve, anywhere anytime.

Along with the operationa­l benefits, the simplicity and reliabilit­y offered by these solutions elevate the threat of losing books and informatio­n due to mismanagem­ent, making it easy to comply and file VAT on time.

Access informatio­n convenient­ly

In a business, interdepen­dence is the key. Department­s are interlinke­d together, with each department helping the other out. This interdepen­dence means that all department­s must have access to the critical informatio­n of the business, anywhere, anytime. It is therefore imperative that the data is readily available during filing returns, which can be easily facilitate­d through an effective business management software.

Save time suitably

It takes time to create and gather informatio­n, when done manually. The associated costs also increases in such a situation. A business management software gives businesses the comfort of creating and maintainin­g data sheets instantly, as most of them are simple and easy to operate. Businesses can take advantage of increased efficiency and productivi­ty to comply with VAT regulation­s with digital solutions and focus on other essential aspects of the company.

Preserve data safely

Even though a business might have a comprehens­ive manual system to maintain records, threats to accidents or robberies is always there, which can negatively impact the data. With business management software, it is possible to secure the data safely.

Experience reliabilit­y and scalabilit­y

It is quite normal to make mistakes in manual calculatio­n. However, one small mistake in the financial calculatio­n can be devastatin­g for the business. But automation in this process brings perfection in work as there is no chance of making such mistake. In addition to reliabilit­y, business management software is also fast becoming a favourite among companies and entreprene­urs because of its simple nature.

For a small business that is in its growth stage, opting for a digital solution will help them grow and scale operations systematic­ally. So if you businesses are looking to boost productivi­ty, keep data up to date and maintain minimal costs, switching to a business management software can be a convenient solution to ensure right compliance with the soon-to-be-introduced VAT.
