Frequently Asked Questions

Please feel free to contact us if your question not listed here, we are more than happy to help you

Is electronic invoicing legally mandatory in Bahrain right now?

No. There is currently no active mandate requiring B2B, B2C, or B2G electronic invoicing in Bahrain. Businesses must follow standard VAT invoicing protocols. However, early system preparation is recommended as the framework is actively being developed.

What is the current standard VAT rate that our systems must support?

Your enterprise accounting software must strictly support Bahrain’s standard VAT rate of 10%. SMARTeIS natively handles this alongside standard tax formatting requirements required by local regulations.

Which government entity is responsible for the e-invoicing rollout?

The National Bureau for Revenue (NBR) is the sole authority governing tax and future electronic invoicing rules in the Kingdom of Bahrain. SMARTeIS is engineered to align directly with the NBR’s technical vision.

How does SMARTeIS handle compliance before NBR finalizes technical rules?

SMARTeIS uses a flexible middleware layer built on international Peppol standard frameworks and global UBL 2.1 XML structures. Because these mirror neighboring GCC models, future NBR updates will require a simple system configuration rather than a costly ERP code overhaul.

Will our existing ERP database need core code modifications?

No. Our solution acts as an independent translation layer. It safely extracts your billing data via native API lines or secure SFTP connections, mapping the required data externally without interrupting your host ERP database architecture.

What types of deployment options does SMARTeIS support?

To match varying corporate security needs, SMARTeIS can be deployed as a standard Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), On-Premise on your own hardware, or within a Private Cloud environment.

Does the platform support international trade and multi-currency billing?

Yes. For global transactions using foreign currencies, our engine pulls live official exchange rates. It displays foreign figures alongside the required local tax calculations converted into Bahraini Dinars (BHD).

How long does a proactive implementation take for a local company?

A standard implementation takes between 4 to 8 weeks. This timeline includes mapping your custom ERP data dictionaries, establishing secure connection parameters, running performance sandbox tests, and deploying the software with zero system downtime.

How does the system secure sensitive corporate financial data?

Our infrastructure delivers total Amaan (data security) through enterprise-grade cryptographic digital signing, secure data archiving, and automated data validation. Our hosting environment is fully backed by certified SOC Type 2 and ISO 27001 computing standards.

Why should our business implement an e-invoicing solution before it becomes mandatory?

Proactive implementation protects your business from the last-minute IT resource scrambles and operational bottlenecks that occur when mandates hit. It gives your team ample time to train staff and run flawless sandbox validation testing.
