Bahrain’s Businessmen’s Association has urged the Government to rethink a proposed income tax law on industrial and commercial establishments. The Association is concerned about the potential negative economic effects of the law. It has asked for a proper assessment of the benefits and drawbacks of the law to be carried out and suggested any tax changes of this kind be introduced together with other GCC countries to ensure the country’s competitiveness is not damaged. The Association’s Chairman added the tax should not be imposed as the Kingdom tackles the Coronavirus outbreak.
