Dear customer,

As of 1st November 2020, Huawei Services (Hong Kong) Co., Limited (hereinafter referred to as "HUAWEI CLOUD") is required to charge Bahrain VAT of 5% on the services provided remotely to Bahrain customers (who have not registered the Bahrain VAT numbers). The Bahrain business customers (who have registered the Bahrain VAT numbers) need to reverse charge Bahrain VAT for the services provided by HUAWEI CLOUD.

To determine your tax status, HUAWEI CLOUD relies on whether you provide your valid Bahrain VAT registration number for HUAWEI CLOUD. If you are using HUAWEI CLOUD services and have registered for Bahrain VAT, you are recommended to update your Bahrain VAT registration number in HUAWEI CLOUD Account Center. If you have uploaded a valid Bahrain VAT registration number in HUAWEI CLOUD Account Center, Bahrain VAT will not be applied on your future purchases of taxable services; otherwise, HUAWEI CLOUD will still apply Bahrain VAT on the services.

After this date, HUAWEI CLOUD will issue to you invoices that reflect these tax changes and relevant tax amount will also appear in your billing console. All Bahrain VATs that are collected from Bahrain customers will be remitted to the Bahrain tax authority.

Kindly be advised that the above should not be viewed or deemed as any formal tax or legal advice. Should you have any queries, you are recommended to contact your tax and/or legal adviser for any questions regarding this change.

Thank you for using HUAWEI CLOUD.
