Frequently Asked Questions

The standard rate is 10%, administered by the National Bureau for Revenue. Some supplies — such as exports, basic foodstuffs, healthcare and education — may be zero-rated or exempt; we confirm the correct treatment for your business.
Registration is mandatory once your annual taxable supplies exceed the mandatory threshold (BHD 37,500). Non-resident businesses making taxable supplies in Bahrain register before their first supply. We confirm your position in a free assessment.
Most businesses file quarterly through the NBR portal (higher-turnover businesses may file monthly), with the return and any payment due within a month of the period end. We prepare and file on time.
A voluntary disclosure to the NBR before an issue is independently found can significantly reduce exposure. We review your history and handle disclosures where needed.
Yes — foreign companies making taxable supplies in Bahrain above the threshold must register, even without a physical presence here.
