Introduction

ISIC is a standard classification of business activities arranged so that entities can be classified according to the business activity they carry out. It is issued by the United Nations Economic and Social Council. The classifications aim at providing a set of activity categories that can be utilized to collect and publish statistics according to the business activities.

The latest version, ISIC Rev. 4, continues to use criteria such as input, output and use of the products in question, more emphasis has been given to the character of the production process in defining and delineating ISIC classes. The 4th revision is therefore divided into a group of sections, divisions, groups, classes, branches, business activities and their respective description.

User guidelines

The highest level of classifications is the Section, which is alphabetically coded and intended to facilitate economic analysis. The Sections subdivide the entire spectrum of productive activities into broad groupings, such as “Agriculture, forestry and fishing” (section A), “Manufacturing” (section C) and “Information and communication” (section J).

The classification is then organized into successively more detailed levels, which are numerically coded: two-digit Divisions; three-digit Groups; and, at the greatest level of detail, four-digit Classes.

The Commercial Registration portal of Bahrain (SIJILAT) provides the Business Description of the Commercial Registration (CR) numbers. Given the ISIC4 code on SIJILAT mostly covers the Division and Group details, it is the responsibility of the VAT payer to identify the sub-level details and input them correctly into the VAT registration form. By identifying the Division details of the CR number in SIJILAT, the VAT payer can identify the missing information for the economic activity input using this guide.
