Bahrain tax invoice template at 10% VAT — free generator

What the invoice must contain

Requirements differ in detail between countries, but the core of a commercial or tax invoice is consistent: seller and buyer identity, a sequential number, an issue date, line descriptions, and amounts before and after tax.

Bahrain VAT is 10%, and the dinar is a three-decimal currency, not two.

• Seller name and VAT account number
• A sequential, non-repeating invoice number
• Issue date
• Line descriptions, quantities and prices
• Amount before tax, tax amount, and total including tax

Country notes

Watch the decimals: the dinar divides into 1000 fils, and any tool that treats it as two-decimal will produce rounding differences.

The rate changed from 5% to 10%

Bahrain raised VAT from 5% to 10% with effect from 1 January 2022, after three years at 5%. Plenty of templates and spreadsheets still circulating online compute the old rate.

If you are working from a spreadsheet or a copied template, check the rate before anything else: an invoice charging 5% today collects half the VAT due, and the shortfall is yours to make up, not your customer’s.

The third decimal — the most common Bahraini invoice error

The Bahraini dinar divides into 1000 fils, so it carries three decimal places. Most off-the-shelf invoicing tools assume two, because they were built for dollars or riyals.

The damage shows up in aggregate rather than on a single line: rounding to two decimals shifts every amount by up to 5 fils, so the invoice total stops matching the sum of its own lines — exactly the kind of discrepancy that stalls a review. This tool computes and prints three decimals automatically when Bahrain is selected.
