10% Corporate Tax in Bulgaria: Benefits for Foreigners

Why Does Bulgaria’s 10% Corporate Tax Attract Foreign Entrepreneurs?

Bulgaria applies a flat corporate tax rate of 10% on the profits of all companies – regardless of their size. For comparison:

Country Corporate Tax
Bulgaria 10%
Germany 29.9%
France 25% – 32%
Italy ~24%

This low rate makes Bulgaria one of the most competitive jurisdictions in the EU.

Additionally, the dividend tax is only 5%, allowing company owners to retain a larger share of their profits.

What Are the Advantages for Foreign Investors?

Low taxes = Higher net profits. Entrepreneurs can reinvest or withdraw a larger portion of their earnings.

Flat tax regime = Easier financial planning. One simple rate, no complex calculations.

EU membership = Free access to the European internal market. A company registered in Bulgaria has the right to duty-free trade and operates under a stable legal framework.

How to Set Up a Company in Bulgaria and Benefit from Low Taxes?
