Brunei Darussalam’s fiscal environment in 2026 is marked by the complete migration of all tax services to the One Common Portal (OCP) and the launch of BruneiID—the national digital identity system. While Brunei remains one of the few jurisdictions without a personal income tax or a general GST/VAT, the enforcement of corporate tax compliance has reached a digital peak. The Revenue Division has officially retired the old STARS system, requiring every entity to use their Business REGISTERNUMBER for all e-filing. In this streamlined economy, your 8-digit Individual NRIC and your specific company prefix are the only keys to the Sultanate’s digital government services.
