VAT in Bahrain
Bahrain applies Value Added Tax at a standard rate of 10% (increased from 5% on 1 January 2022), administered by the National Bureau for Revenue (NBR). Some supplies are zero-rated or exempt.
What a compliant tax invoice needs
- Seller name, address and VAT account number
- Buyer details and VAT number for B2B
- A unique sequential invoice number and issue date
- Description, quantity and unit price of goods/services
- The taxable amount, VAT rate and VAT amount (in BHD)
- The gross total payable
Invoicing on the go
Retail and distribution teams still hand over a proper tax invoice at the point of sale. Invoice Max Pro works offline-first: issue the invoice on the spot and sync when you reconnect, keeping every document numbered.
