Each Friday we publish a tax question from one of our site visitors who arrive from more than 190 countries and territories around the globe. This week we have an interesting question for our tax professional members with international experience.

“We are a trading company located in Bahrain. Most of our purchases are from UAE and payments via Telex Transfer. After implementation of TAX in UAE, suppliers are adding 5% Tax in our invoice and we are forced to include this amount in TT.
