Expert VAT Services in Bahrain – Trusted by BMS Auditing

Value Added Tax (VAT) was introduced in Bahrain on January 1, 2019, as part of the GCC’s unified agreement to enhance economic stability and diversify revenue sources. Initially introduced at a standard rate of 5%, Bahrain later increased the VAT rate to 10% in 2022. With this change, VAT compliance has become even more essential for businesses operating within the Kingdom. At BMS Auditing, we provide end-to-end VAT services to help businesses navigate the complexities of VAT registration in Bahrain, filing, and compliance with complete confidence.

What is VAT?

VAT is an indirect tax levied on the consumption of goods and services. Businesses registered under VAT are responsible for collecting the tax from customers on behalf of the government and remitting it through periodic filings. It applies to most goods and services in Bahrain, with certain exemptions and zero-rated categories.

Who need to register for VAT in Bahrain?

Any business with annual taxable supplies exceeding BD 37,500 is required to register for VAT. However, companies with supplies above BD 18,750 can opt for voluntary registration. Non-resident businesses providing taxable supplies in Bahrain must also register for VAT, regardless of the threshold.

Failing to register on time can result in significant penalties and legal issues. Therefore, timely and accurate registration is critical for compliance and maintaining a good business reputation.
