Our focus provides an insight into some of the most important regulatory updates across the region, such as the UAE’s groundbreaking law on the use of human genome, Kuwait’s resolution on nuclear and radioactive materials, the new regulations for healthcare services in Qatar, Egypt’s healthcare regulatory framework, and the impact of the Saudi Civil Transactions Law on the healthcare and life sciences sector … and there is so much more!
Beyond the healthcare pages our lawyers share with you multi-sector insights where you will discover articles on Dubai’s DIFC regulatory framework for startups, Bahrain’s commercial agencies law, and we also shed light on Kuwaiti civil code and the advantages of setting up a joint stock company in Saudi Arabia.
Read the full editionBusinesses with an annual taxable turnover between BHD 500,000 and BHD 5,000,000 are required to register by 20 June 2019. This requirement follows the Bahrain Ministry of Finance’s (MoF) previous announcement that VAT registration will be launched in three phases.
Businesses should consider the VAT treatment of their transactions to ascertain whether they are required to register for VAT. While the phasing of the requirement for businesses to register for VAT provides some transitional relief to businesses, it is important that businesses should commence their preparation for VAT immediately.
Al Tamimi can advise you on whether you are required to register for VAT and assist you with a VAT impact assessment or perform a second review to confirm the VAT treatment of your transactions. Please click here for our brochure on VAT implementation in Bahrain.
