What ships for Bahrain.
These are the defaults the workspace starts with when you pick the country. Every one of them is a setting you can change.
| Setting | Default for Bahrain |
|---|---|
| Tax regime | VAT, with inclusive or exclusive pricing per business, and tax split to its own ledger on every posting. |
| Shipped rates |
|
| On documents | Your VAT registration number and business details on every invoice, quotation, receipt, and voucher. |
| Currency | Bahraini dinar (BHD) as base currency; any other currency on documents with the exchange rate carried into the books. |
| Languages | Workspace in Arabic and English , with right-to-left layout in Arabic and paired Arabic–English labels on printed documents. |
| Financial year | The calendar year is typical. Set yours, and lock closed periods. |
Why it fits here
Built for how business runs in Bahrain.
A 10% rate on VAT-inclusive shelf and menu prices means the tax has to be backed out of every line correctly and posted to its own ledger. Flowyana computes tax per line, inclusive or exclusive, and the receipt, the voucher, and the tax summary all show the same figure.
Businesses here are often small teams doing several things at once: a salon that retails products, a café with a catering arm, a trader with a showroom. Buying per module means the salon takes bookings and POS, the café takes restaurant POS and purchasing, and both add accounting when they want the books in the same place.
Compliance, stated plainly
E-invoicing and filing in Bahrain
VAT is in force at 10%. The National Bureau for Revenue is designing a phased B2B e-invoicing system expected to begin with large taxpayers, but no effective dates or technical format had been published.

What Flowyana does — and does not — claim
- Does: posts VAT to its own ledger on every sale, purchase, expense, and POS settlement; keeps a tax summary that agrees with the ledger; puts your VAT registration number on every document; locks closed periods.
- Does not: claim certified integration with any e-invoicing or filing platform. Get any vendor’s status in writing before you buy — including ours — and let your accountant confirm what and when you must file.

Flowyana in Bahrain, answered.
Is Bahrain’s 10% VAT set up?
Yes. The Bahrain profile ships 10% standard and 0% zero-rated VAT, inclusive or exclusive pricing, and the tax posts to its own ledger on every sale, purchase, expense, and POS settlement.
What about the dinar’s three decimal places?
The dinar is set up as your base currency with its own code and symbol. Before relying on any software for fils-level amounts, test it with a three-decimal line on a receipt and in the ledger — we will show you exactly how Flowyana prints and posts it in the demo.
What about NBR e-invoicing?
No dates or formats had been published as of September 2026, and we make no claim about a system that does not yet exist. Your invoices are already structured, VAT-split records, which is what any e-invoicing route builds on.
