Accounting & taxes
Property Accounting & Tax Services in Bulgaria
Licensed Bulgarian accountants handling every filing, every deduction and every declaration — so you stay compliant without ever opening a Bulgarian tax form.
Bulgaria has one of the simplest tax codes in the EU — a flat 10% on rental income, attractive corporate rates, generous deductions. On paper, dealing with it should be easy. In practice, the system runs entirely in Bulgarian, deadlines are unforgiving, and miscoded filings can lock your bank account or block the eventual sale of the property.
We work with licensed Bulgarian accountants who specialise in property income for non-resident owners. They prepare and submit your annual return, advise on the most efficient structure (personal name vs Bulgarian EOOD), keep your tourist-tax accounting clean, and represent you in front of the NRA (Bulgarian tax authority) if questions arise.
Everything happens in your language. You receive a single annual tax pack you can hand to your accountant at home for double-taxation treaty purposes, and a clean monthly P&L throughout the year so you always know exactly where you stand.

Frequently asked
Your questions, answered.
What tax do I pay on rental income in Bulgaria?
+
Personal income tax on rental income is a flat 10%, with a 10% standard deduction for expenses (no receipts required). Bulgarian EOODs pay 10% corporate tax. Short-stay activity may require VAT registration over €100k turnover.
Should I hold the property in my name or in an EOOD?
+
For one or two long-term-let apartments, personal ownership is usually simpler. For multiple short-stay units or active rental businesses, an EOOD often becomes more tax-efficient. We model both scenarios for you before you decide.
I haven't filed for a few years — can you fix it?
+
Yes. We routinely on-board owners with back filings and bring them current within one tax cycle, including negotiating penalties where applicable.
Do I need to come to Bulgaria to deal with the tax authority?
+
No. With a notarised power of attorney we handle every filing and every conversation locally.
