Bahrain · VAT & NBR
If you run a shop in Manama, Riffa or Muharraq, the hard part of VAT is not the filing screen on the NBR portal — it is finding trustworthy numbers to type into it. Tallium AI records every sale, purchase and expense with the right VAT treatment as it happens, so your output tax and input tax are already totalled when the return period closes. One app covers accounting, invoicing, POS and stock, with unlimited users on every plan.
From $79/month per shop · billed monthly · no free trial
Key takeaways
Your VAT return period closes and you start digging: till rolls in a drawer, supplier invoices in WhatsApp, a fuel receipt in the car. Reconstructing a whole period from scattered paper is where the late nights and the guessing come from, and guessing is exactly what you cannot afford on a return that carries your VAT account number.
Small purchases add up — packaging, delivery, repairs, a new display fridge. When those tax invoices never get entered, you quietly pay VAT you were entitled to recover. Most shop owners only notice the gap when the accountant asks for supporting documents that no longer exist.
Cash sales in one system, card settlements in another, returns and exchanges handled by hand. By month end the sales figure in your accounts does not match what actually went through the counter, and you have no quick way to find which day broke.
You want your partner, your cashier and your accountant in the same system, but every extra login costs more, and stock or POS sits behind a separate subscription. So people share one password, or half the business stays on spreadsheets and the books drift out of date.
Tallium AI keeps a running VAT position from your live sales and purchases: standard-rated, zero-rated and exempt kept apart, output tax against input tax, with the net figure updating as you trade. When the period closes you open the VAT report, review it, and carry the totals into your VAT return on the NBR portal — with the underlying transactions one click away. Please confirm current rules and return deadlines with the National Bureau for Revenue (NBR) or a qualified local tax professional.
Photograph a supplier invoice or expense receipt with the mobile app and the AI reads the supplier, date, total and tax amount, then suggests the category and VAT treatment. You approve it in a second. The document stays attached to the entry, so when someone asks for evidence behind a claim, it is already filed against the right transaction.
The POS is not a bolt-on — every sale, refund and exchange posts straight into the same ledger and reduces stock in the same breath. Compliant tax invoices carry your details and the VAT charged, cash and card takings reconcile against the day's z-report, and your sales figure in the accounts is the same number that went through the till.
Add your spouse, your cashiers, your stock person and your external accountant — there are no per-seat fees, ever. A shop is $79 per month in USD, billed monthly from signup, cancel anytime, and it includes accounting, invoicing, VAT handling, POS, inventory, reports, the mobile app and the Marketing and CRM tools in the Tallium AI suite under the same account.
Standard-rated, zero-rated and exempt sales tracked separately, with output and input tax totalled per period so your VAT return figures are ready to review rather than rebuild.
Double-entry books that update from your sales, purchases and expenses automatically — no journal knowledge needed, and nothing left to catch up on at period end.
Send tax invoices and credit notes that show your VAT account number and the VAT charged, and track who has paid you without chasing a separate spreadsheet.
Fast counter sales, refunds and exchanges that post to the ledger and adjust stock instantly, so till takings and accounts always tell the same story.
Profit and loss, VAT summary, stock valuation and cash position on demand — plus AI insights that flag margin drops and slow-moving lines before they cost you.
Build your plan in a minute — pay only for the parts of your business you run. From $79/month per shop.
