Personal income tax returns and tax residency in Bulgaria
Business owners, freelancers and people who move to Bulgaria all face personal tax questions. We prepare your annual return and help you understand where, and on what, you are taxed.
Who it’s for
- Company owners and managers
- Freelancers and self-employed professionals
- Foreign nationals living or working in Bulgaria
Individuals with income beyond a regular salary, such as freelance fees, rental income, dividends or income from abroad, usually need to file an annual personal income tax return with the National Revenue Agency. The deadline is 30 April of the following year.
For people relocating to or from Bulgaria, the first question is often tax residency: it decides which country taxes which income, and whether a double tax treaty applies. We look at your situation, explain your obligations in plain language and take care of the filings.
