As Bahrain's tax framework evolves rapidly, businesses need expert guidance to navigate new regulations and seize opportunities.
Bahrain doubled its VAT rate from 5% to 10% effective January 1, 2025, impacting every business operating in the Kingdom. The National Bureau for Revenue (NBR) now requires enhanced reporting, stricter filing deadlines, and updated invoicing standards. Businesses exceeding the BHD 37,500 mandatory registration threshold must comply, while those above BHD 18,750 may voluntarily register.
Key industries affected include retail, hospitality, real estate, and professional services. Zero-rated supplies — including international transport, qualifying education, and healthcare — remain unchanged, but the expanded tax base means most B2B and B2C transactions now carry the higher rate.
Learn about our VAT Advisory services →Bahrain is implementing the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax as part of the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Pillar Two. This 15% global minimum tax targets multinational enterprises (MNEs) with consolidated revenue exceeding EUR 750 million, ensuring they pay at least a 15% effective tax rate in every jurisdiction they operate.
For Bahrain — historically a zero-corporate-tax jurisdiction — this represents a significant shift. Companies must assess their Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (QDMTT) exposure, restructure holding arrangements where necessary, and prepare Pillar Two compliant reporting under the GloBE rules (Income Inclusion Rule and Undertaxed Profits Rule).
