Starting a Business in Bulgaria Is a Smart Move for Many Foreign Entrepreneurs Thanks to the Favorable Tax Environment.
With the right strategy, you can legally reduce your tax burden from day one. In this article, you’ll learn how to benefit from Bulgaria’s low taxes and how T&G Consulting can help you save both money and time.
What Is the Corporate Tax in Bulgaria?
Corporate income tax in Bulgaria is fixed at 10% – one of the lowest rates in the EU.
➡ This makes the country attractive for startups and international investors.
Which Legal Form Is Best for a New Business?
The type of business structure directly affects your tax treatment:
- EOOD – for sole proprietors
- OOD – for companies with multiple shareholders
📌 Both offer limited liability and tax advantages.
What Business Expenses Can You Deduct?
Recognizing business-related expenses reduces your taxable profit.
Be sure to keep invoices and contracts for:
- Office rent and utilities
- Travel and transportation
- Software and equipment
- Marketing and advertising 📣
- Legal and accounting services
📁 Proper recordkeeping ensures maximum tax relief.
When Is VAT Registration Required and What Are the Benefits?
If your turnover exceeds BGN 84,000 annually, VAT registration becomes mandatory.
💡 Although the process may seem complex, VAT registration allows you to reclaim input VAT on business-related purchases — significantly reducing your actual expenses.

Labor costs in Bulgaria are lower than in most EU countries, but efficient management is key:
- Offer bonuses and employee benefits to reduce tax pressure
- Submit social security contributions on time to avoid fines ⏰
