VAT registration

Why is a VAT registration necessary?

In case that you need your company to invoice clients outside of Bulgaria, the company needs to be VAT /VIES/ registered. After the VAT registration, up until the 14^th of the following month you will have to apply VAT declarations for all purchases and sales before the tax authorities.

In case that you are offering services outside of Bulgaria and your client is a foreign company with a valid VAT registration number, you will have to calculate 0% /zero per cent/ VAT in the invoice.

In case that your client is an individual /physical person/ or a legal entity, which does not have a VAT registration number or another Bulgarian company, you will have to calculate 20% VAT for all products and services (besides tourist services, for which the VAT is resp. 9%).

What is the term for VAT registration?

The term for VAT registration is from 2 to 3 weeks after the date of your company’s registration in the Bulgarian Commercial Registry and presenting all necessary documents.

The company's capital is divided into shares /stocks/, which can be either registered (containing the shareholder's name), bearer or dematerialized. The shareholders do not appear in the certificate for the company's registration, issued by Bulgarian Commercial Registry.

The joint-stock company is represented by the General Meeting of the Shareholders (only for matters of utmost importance) and by the Directors' Council (consisting of minimum 3 people; for all management matters).
