Manama

The Information & eGovernment Authority (iGA), in cooperation with the National Bureau for Revenue (NBR), launched a new service allowing VAT payments to be made via the National Portal, bahrain.bh.

The service enables entities of all sectors that are eligible to charge VAT on their services and products to view and settle their bills online easily and conveniently, iGA said.

The service is in line with NBR’s commitment to deploy modern technologies and systems that further streamline and secure the VAT collection process.

The new service adds to a host of eServices already offered by NBR in cooperation with the iGA, and is in line with national efforts to advance the public sector through online services and policies aimed at raising government service efficiency while maintaining the highest safety and privacy standards.

The addition of the new service also supports ongoing digital transformation initiatives aimed at ensuring that government services meet the needs of beneficiaries of all types. 

The new service is available through the National Portal, bahrain.bh that allows entering bill and VAT account numbers to view the due amounts in detail.

The service also allows entering the due amounts and contact details, to finalize the online payment. Once the transaction is complete, a receipt can be printed or sent via email.
