Bahrain has recently unveiled a major change in its taxation policy with the introduction of a 15% profit tax on large multinational corporations, set to take effect from January 1, 2025. This new tax represents a substantial shift in Bahrain’s taxation landscape, significantly impacting multinational enterprises (MNEs) and recruitment firms that partner with them. The revised tax framework aims to align with international standards and promote fair competition, which is expected to have far-reaching implications for recruitment strategies and talent management within the region. Businesses will need to adapt their strategies to navigate the evolving fiscal environment and ensure compliance with the new regulations.
