Fawtara e-invoicing

Ready for the NBR Fawtara mandate

Bahrain's National Bureau for Revenue is developing Fawtara — a structured e-invoicing system similar to Saudi Arabia's ZATCA Phase 2. Oris Invoice has the full submission pipeline in place: invoice XML generation, status lifecycle (PENDING → SUBMITTED → ACCEPTED), and an audit trail per submission.

When NBR publishes the production API credentials and mandate timeline, your Bahrain invoices will flow through Fawtara with a single toggle — no migration, no new software.

Frequently asked

Is Oris Invoice compliant with the NBR VAT Act 2018?

Yes. Every tax invoice includes the supplier's NBR VAT number, customer's NBR VAT number (if registered), tax date, and line-level VAT breakdown as required by Article 55 of the Bahrain VAT Act.

What is the Fawtara e-invoicing mandate?

Fawtara is the NBR's planned structured e-invoicing system, similar to ZATCA in Saudi Arabia and PINT-AE in the UAE. The production API and timeline are not yet published. Oris Invoice has the structured pipeline in place and will enable submission as soon as the OTA publishes sandbox credentials.

Why does BHD need 3 decimal places?

Bahraini Dinar is divided into 1,000 fils. Displaying or storing BHD as 2-decimal (like USD/AED) would produce systematic rounding errors on every line item. Oris Invoice stores all BHD amounts in the smallest unit (fils = integer) and displays them to 3 decimal places.

Can I generate a VAT return from Oris Invoice?

Yes. The NBR VAT Return export produces a CSV with output VAT (sales), input VAT (purchases entered as bills), and the net payable — aligned to the boxes on the Bahrain VAT portal.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. The Starter tier is free, supports up to 30 invoices per month, and includes BHD currency, NBR VAT number fields, and bilingual PDF output. No credit card required.
