English text status

English translation published by the NBR in its bilingual Regulations file (marked unofficial). The Arabic text published in the Official Gazette remains the legal reference in the event of any discrepancy.

Practical summary

A Taxable Person must notify the NBR, using its prescribed form, of any change to its information, transactions or activities in Bahrain, or any other material information in the registration application, within 30 days from the change.

Who should read this?

Registrants and tax, finance, legal and master-data teams.

Why does it matter?

Updating internal records or another authority does not replace NBR notification. The 30 days run from the change itself, so material changes need an immediate internal escalation route.

Activity or address change

If an address or Supply-relevant activity changes on 10 September, that occurrence date anchors the 30-day notice period; an annual review date does not.
