Shura welcomes VAT directives

Shura Council praised the directives of HM King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa to the relevant executive entities to review the mechanisms of applying VAT during the trial period of its implementation. The Shura Council welcomed HM the King’s assertion of the importance of taking into account the needs of citizens through exemptions and non-application of VAT on basic goods and services that may affect citizens’ income.

The Shura Council said HM the King’s directives reflect his interest in citizens’ needs. It highlighted that citizens would always be the core of the development process seen in the prosperous era of HM the King.
