Every year, international businesses spend thousands of dinars participating in exhibitions and trade shows across Bahrain. From booth rentals to hotel stays and event logistics — almost every service is billed with 10% VAT.

• What most exhibitors don’t know is:
  You are eligible to claim back 100% of the VAT paid in Bahrain — legally and easily.
  
  Unfortunately, many companies miss out on this opportunity due to lack of awareness or poor documentation. That’s where BCA Business Consultancy W.L.L steps in — we specialize in helping international exhibitors recover their rightful VAT refunds from Bahrain’s National Bureau for Revenue (NBR).

• You’re a non-resident business not registered for VAT in Bahrain

• You are based in a country that implements VAT/GST

• Your expenses in Bahrain were business-related (e.g. exhibition services, hotel, logistics)

• You have valid tax invoices with your company’s name and VAT breakdown
  What Types of Expenses Are Refundable?

  If you’ve paid VAT on the following services, you’re likely eligible for a refund:

  • Exhibition booth rental & event fees

  • Hotel accommodation

  • Transport & freight handling

  • Marketing & printing costs

  • Audio-visual & IT equipment rental

  • Business consultancy or service provider fees (like BCA!)

    📌 Example:
    If you spent BHD 20,000 on participating in a Bahrain trade event, you’ve likely paid BHD 2,000 in VAT. That’s a full refund waiting to be claimed.
