Gold shop software · BHD · Self-declaredGold shop software for Bahrain
Bahrain does not have a ready-made pack in ZahabFlow yet, but a Bahraini shop can sign up today in Bahraini dinars with the tax rate it enters itself, and the software works to three decimals with no rounding loss.
Tax in Bahrain: you enter the rate
Bahrain’s standard VAT rate is 10%, but gold and jewellery have their own details, so check them with your accountant before entering the rate. We do not fill it in for you.
Self-declaration gives you one shape: one rate on the full value of the invoice. If your tax falls on only part of the value — the making charge, say — this shape cannot express it yet, so talk to us before you sell.
A worked example
A 10 g ring at 21K, at an illustrative BHD 42.000 per gram of pure gold, with a making charge of BHD 3.000 per gram, assuming you entered 10%:
| Line | Calculation | Result (BHD) |
|---|---|---|
| Pure gold | 10 × 875 ÷ 1000 | 8.750 g |
| Gold value | 8.750 × 42.000 | 367.500 |
| Making charge | 10 × 3.000 | 30.000 |
| Before tax | — | 397.500 |
| Tax at the entered 10% | 397.500 × 10% | 39.750 |
| Total | — | 437.250 |
Prices in the example are illustrative, not today’s rates.

What every shop gets
A till priced from the rate of the moment
Price is never stored on a piece. It is rebuilt at every sale from the gram rate, fineness, making charge and tax, then fixed on the invoice.
Stock in grams per karat
Weight is stored in nanograms and fineness as parts per thousand, so pure grams add up and reconcile with no rounding.
Trade-in and buying scrap
The customer pays part of the price in old gold on the sell screen itself, and every gram that comes in is recorded with its cost and source.
Workshop
The customer’s gold on the bench is weighed going out and coming back, and the loss is recorded per craftsman.
Selling without internet
The arithmetic runs on the device itself; the sale waits in a queue, is sent when the connection returns, and the server re-prices it.
Day close
Expected grams per fineness and expected cash, against what you counted, with the difference recorded and a note.
Arabic and English
Arabic first, right to left, with full English — one tap to switch.
Questions we are asked
Does it work in Bahraini dinars to three decimals?
Yes. The number of decimals is taken from the currency itself at sign-up, so the dinar gets three, and rounding to the fils happens once, at the end.
Which rate do I enter?
The one that applies to your gold sales, after checking it with your accountant. The software does not assume a rate for you.
Can I sell without internet?
Yes. The till prices on the device, keeps the sale in a queue, and sends it when the connection returns.
