Today
Structured invoices
Seller, buyer, line items, tax and totals are held as clean data, not just a PDF, with unique numbering on every invoice.
E-invoicing readiness
If Bahrain mandates e-invoicing tomorrow, you switch, not rebuild.
No mandate date has been announced. Pragma is built so that when one is, the change is a setting rather than a project.
02
When rules are announced
We configure the format
We configure the official format and the submission method set out by the authorities.
03
Go-live
Switch it on
Nothing to re-key and nothing to migrate. Your invoice history is already in the right shape.
E-invoicing questions
Has Bahrain announced an e-invoicing mandate?
At the time of writing we are not aware of a confirmed mandate date for Bahrain. Check the National Bureau for Revenue for the latest position.
What is the difference between a PDF invoice and an e-invoice?
An e-invoice is structured data that a tax authority's system can read. A PDF is a picture of an invoice. Pragma stores every invoice as structured data and can also produce the PDF.
Will I need to re-enter old invoices?
No. Invoices in Pragma are already held in a structured form with unique numbering, so there is nothing to re-key or migrate.
What will Pragma do when rules are announced?
We configure the official format and submission method, test it, and you switch it on.
