Software for Bahrain: 10% VAT, SIO and BenefitPay
Bahraini business software must file VAT with the NBR, handle SIO contributions and price in three-decimal dinars.
Tax & e-invoicing
VAT was introduced in 2019 and has been 10% since January 2022, administered by the National Bureau for Revenue (NBR).
Payroll & employment
Employers register staff with the Social Insurance Organization (SIO), and Bahrainization targets apply in many sectors.
Data protection
The Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 30 of 2018) governs how personal data is collected and processed.
Payments & local practice
BENEFIT operates Bahrainโs national switch and the BenefitPay wallet. The Bahraini dinar also splits into 1,000 fils, so ledgers and invoices keep three decimal places.
