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?
Company registration takes 3 to 7 working days. Requirements include:
- Minimum share capital: BGN 2
- Registered office address
