What does the Article mean in plain language?
The Law does not itself set an amount; the current decision for the relevant service, including dispute stages where applicable, must be checked. Decision No. 30 of 2025 sets the dispute fees: BHD 50 for a review application to the NBR and BHD 100 for an objection to the objections committee, per decision or procedure, even where several are combined in one application (Article 1 of the Decision).
Groups, advisers, tax agents and anyone reviewing powers, implementation and transition.
Check the current decision, fee and payment method before filing an application or objection.
Borrowing a fee from another tax or another procedural stage by analogy.
