Bahrain Reduces Foreign Worker Tax by 50%

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Oct. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- The Bahrain government has given a go ahead to reduce fees levied on foreign workers in an attempt to increase business activities of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), reports the Nair & Co. International Tax Team.

The monthly fees will be reduced to BHD 5 (~USD 13) for each expatriate from BHD 10 (~USD 26) for companies employing less than five workers. The reduced rates are effective as of 1 September 2013. In Bahrain, small businesses employing less than five workers constitute a majority of businesses operating in the country at around 78 per cent.

The above move will benefit small companies looking to hire foreign workers in Bahrain.
