Al Baraka Bahrain is the holding entity of a pan-MENA Islamic banking group. Statements tag every flow by Sharia product. Convert to Excel for Bahrain VAT records, cross-border tax filings, and Zakat workpapers.
Convert your Al Baraka statementBahrain has no personal income tax and no general corporate income tax for most sectors, but it does have 10% VAT (doubled from 5% in January 2022). The National Bureau for Revenue (NBR) requires registered businesses to substantiate VAT with bank-evidenced records. Al Baraka Bahrain is widely used by Islamic-finance-seeking SMEs whose statements feed directly into the VAT file.
Al Baraka Bahrain statements are also used for Zakat calculation by Muslim-owned entities and for cross-border tax filings by group subsidiaries. Mudaraba profit distributions are investment income — classify accordingly for any jurisdiction with a separate investment-income tax line. Murabaha and Musharaka repayments are financing costs, not operating expenses, in the corporate tax computation.
For Bahrain 10% VAT: Al Baraka statements prove inbound revenue (output VAT base) and outbound supplier payments (input VAT credit). The Sharia product tag on each row helps the VAT advisor exclude financing repayments from the VAT input base — financing costs are not eligible for input credit.
For Zakat: Bahraini-owned Islamic banks pay Zakat on their own Zakat base; their depositors and corporate customers calculate Zakat separately. The Al Baraka statement is the primary evidence for the ending balance and for Mudaraba investment returns, which form part of the Zakatable asset base for the holder.
Pull every credit and debit with full 3-decimal BHD precision, tag Mudaraba profit distributions separately from operating revenue, classify Murabaha and Musharaka repayments as financing cost, and preserve the Sharia product label for the tax workpaper.

Pull the statement covering your tax or Zakat period
From Al Baraka Digital, request the statement covering your full filing period. Bahrain VAT is quarterly for most businesses. Zakat is typically annual (Hijri or Gregorian depending on the entity's policy).
Upload to Kashfbank
The bilingual PDF goes in as-is. BHD's three decimal places stay intact. Sharia product tags (Mudaraba, Murabaha, Musharaka) are preserved in the description column for the tax workpaper.
Classify by Sharia product and tax treatment
Filter by Description to isolate Mudaraba profit (investment income), Murabaha and Musharaka repayments (financing cost), and standard operating flows. Each has different tax treatment in most frameworks.
Export and reconcile against your VAT return or Zakat workpaper
Download as Excel or CSV. Sum operating revenue for the VAT output base, sum Mudaraba profit for investment income disclosure, sum closing balance for the Zakat base. The 3-decimal BHD totals reconcile to the fils.
Common challenges
Are Mudaraba profit distributions taxable in cross-border filings?
Treatment depends on the receiving jurisdiction. Most frameworks classify Mudaraba profit as investment income, which is taxed separately from service revenue. Some Islamic-finance-aware jurisdictions (Malaysia, parts of the GCC) have specific provisions for profit-sharing income. Your tax advisor applies the local rule — Kashfbank's export keeps the Mudaraba tag visible so the classification is unambiguous.
How does the export handle Murabaha repayments for VAT?
Murabaha is a deferred-sale financing structure. The repayment is a financing cost, not an operating expense. VAT input credit does not apply to financing costs. The Kashfbank export preserves the Murabaha tag on each repayment row so the VAT advisor excludes it from the input VAT base.
Does the export keep BHD to three decimal places?
Yes. 1.250 stays 1.250. The fils-level precision matters for any reconciliation against NBR filings, Zakat workpapers, or Al Baraka's own annual summary.
I have subsidiary statements in EGP and TRY from Al Baraka group entities. Can Kashfbank handle those alongside the BHD parent statement?
Yes. Each subsidiary statement is converted independently with its own currency and decimal precision. The Bahrain BHD statement (3 decimals) and the Egypt EGP or Turkey TRY statements (2 decimals) are kept separate. Group-level reconciliation can be done in Excel after export.
