Bahrain Explores Electronic Invoicing to Boost VAT Compliance and Combat Tax Fraud

  • Bahrain’s E-Invoicing Consideration: Following the successful implementation of electronic invoicing in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, Bahrain is exploring its own e-invoicing system to enhance VAT compliance and tax collection efficiency, building on its VAT introduction in 2019 and subsequent rate increase to 10% in 2022.
  • Goals of the E-Invoicing Initiative: The government’s initiative aims to improve transparency, reduce tax fraud, and provide detailed insights into economic activity, with the National Bureau for Revenue currently conducting a public consultation on the proposed system.
  • Expected Benefits and Rollout: The phased rollout of the e-invoicing system, similar to Saudi Arabia’s approach, is anticipated to simplify administrative processes for businesses, aid in economic policy development through better data access, and support Bahrain’s fiscal balance program.
