The National Bureau for Taxation (NBT) today introduced a new service that allows consumers to verify vendors’ VAT registration status through a search tool accessible on www.nbt.gov.bh.

The new system allows consumers to pull up vendors’ official registration records by searching for its VAT Registration Number, Commercial Registration Number and QR code.

This new service builds on the government’s efforts to strengthen consumer protection and transparency to further build on the success of the VAT.

The new service aims to facilitate the monitoring mechanisms during the VAT’s initial stage, and strengthen regulatory compliance.
