No general corporate income tax is also levied on companies in other sectors than oil and gas. An important exception is for those companies engaged in the oil and gas sector. Both domestic and overseas businesses that run in this line of business\u2014namely, those that do the extraction, processing, or refining of hydrocarbons (fossil fuels) within the country\u2014are levied with a corporate tax. 46% of their net profits are charged over each tax accounting year. This tax is imposed irrespective of the taxpayer&#8217;s country of residence, thus qualifying as a sector-specific tax and standing out in Bahrain&#8217;s tax-free economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bahrain introduced Value Added Tax (VAT) on 1 January 2019 under the GCC-VAT Framework with a standard rate of 10% currently. VAT registration is required for Bahrain-resident businesses with taxable turnover above BHD 37,500 in a year and optional above BHD 18,750. The majority of non-resident businesses are required to register when they make their first taxable supply in Bahrain. Bahrain also levies Excise Tax, introduced on 30 December 2017, at 100% for tobacco and energy drinks, and 50% for soft drinks. Customs Duty is commonly 5% for imported items, with higher charges for some items: 225% for alcoholic beverages, 200% for cigarettes, and 20% for some items such as paper and aluminum products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-when-to-register-for-vat\" data-level=\"2\">When to
