Bahrain: still no gazetted e-invoicing date as the first indicated wave passes unenforced

Checked as at 17 October 2026: the National Bureau for Revenue has published no official go-live date and no named central-platform provider, and the first date circulating in programme material — a wave above BHD 1 million from 1 July 2026 — has now passed without any obligation taking effect. Procurement for the central platform has run through the Bahrain Tender Board since 2023, with a further tender in 2025, and draft Phase 2 specifications were reported circulating in Q1 2026, but none of that is an enacted instrument. Secondary trackers continue to carry conflicting dates and some reference an authority name that does not match NBR; treat any Bahrain date you see as unsourced until NBR publishes. For planning purposes Bahrain is a watch item, not a deadline — which is itself worth knowing if a vendor is selling you a Bahrain readiness project.

UAE: accredited service provider register reaches 67 with 13 days to the appointment deadline

The Ministry of Finance register showed 67 fully accredited service providers plus 3 still under final accreditation assessment when last refreshed on 16 October 2026 — up from 49 accredited and 8 pre-approved at the start of September. The pre-approved list shrinking while the accredited list grows is the useful signal: the queue is clearing rather than lengthening. Taxpayers with annual revenue of AED 50 million or more must have appointed an accredited provider by 30 October 2026, now under two weeks away, ahead of mandatory issuance from 1 January 2027. Businesses below that threshold have until 31 March 2027 with issuance from 1 July 2027, and in-scope government entities follow the same March appointment date with implementation from 1 October 2027. Appointment is made through EmaraTax. Counts circulating in secondary coverage this month ranged from 42 to 65; the figures here are taken from the Ministry's own register.

India: GSTN opens sandbox for IRN on reverse-charge self-invoices — RCMDOM and RCMIMP

GSTN Advisory 678, dated 16 October 2026, introduces e-invoicing for recipient-generated self-invoices under the reverse charge mechanism, adding two supply types: RCMDOM for specified domestic supplies received from unregistered persons, and RCMIMP for imports of services. Eligible recipients will generate an IRN for these self-invoices through authorised IRPs, and sandbox testing is live across six IRPs. It follows the 57th GST Council recommendation to extend e-invoicing to RCM purchases and service imports for taxpayers with aggregate annual turnover of INR 5 crore and above. No production date has been announced — rollout and the start of reporting will be notified separately, and existing e-invoicing rules are unchanged meanwhile. The significance is that this is a new document flow rather than a threshold change: the buyer becomes an issuer, so AP rather than AR has to produce a compliant structured document, and most Indian ERP configurations have no path for that today. Worth building against the sandbox now rather than waiting for the notification.

Slovakia clarifies that foreign VAT-registered-only companies are not automatically in scope

Ahead of the 1 January 2027 mandate for domestic B2B and B2G transactions, Slovakia clarified that foreign companies which are merely VAT-registered in Slovakia are not automatically obliged during the 2027-2030 period. That is a meaningful scoping carve-out and an unusually clear one: in most mandates the question of whether a non-established but VAT-registered entity is in scope is left ambiguous and resolved late, often after projects have already been budgeted. Groups with Slovak VAT registrations but no establishment should confirm their own position against the text, but the default here points away from obligation.
