Bahrain has a Free Trade Agreement with the US which provides for very favorable tax treatment (zero in most industries) for services or goods manufactured wholly in the U.S. and in which businesses enjoy the protection of the Kingdom’s legal and regulatory systems and strict intellectual property and copyright laws It is also a member of the GCC (the Gulf Cooperation Council includes Bahrain , Kuwait , Oman , Qatar , Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.) When a company sets up a branch, distribution center or a subsidiary in Bahrain , it would enjoy the benefits of a Bahraini company and allows for the same tax-free trade status within the entire GCC countries (as long as there is some value-added percentage in Bahrain.)
