Corporate tax and dividend tax in Bulgaria: 10% and 5%

10%A flat tax on the year's profit

A Bulgarian company pays a flat 10% corporate tax on the taxable profit of the calendar year. When profit is paid out to an owner who is an individual, the company withholds a 5% dividend tax. A dividend that goes to a parent company resident in the EU or the EEA carries none.

30 JuneThe return and the tax

We file the corporate tax return between 1 March and 30 June of the following year, and the tax is due by 30 June. The dividend tax goes to the National Revenue Agency by the end of the month after the quarter in which the owners voted the payout.

€153,387.56When advance tax starts

Advance corporate tax does not apply in the year a company is registered or in the one after. Later, advances start once net sales two years earlier passed €153,387.56. We file the declaration of advance tax between 1 March and 15 April.

On a profit of €60,000	Amount
Corporate tax at 10%	€6,000
Profit after tax	€54,000
Dividend tax at 5% of €54,000	€2,700
Paid to the owner	€51,300
Tax in Bulgaria, 14.5% of the profit	€8,700

The tax identification number of a Bulgarian company is its UIC, the 9-digit code it receives from the Trade Register. The National Revenue Agency registers a new company from the register's data, with no application from you.

What a Bulgarian company files and when

We prepare and file each of these, and your account shows the date.

Payroll and social security in Bulgaria in 2026

32.7%Contributions on each salary

Each salary carries social security and health contributions of 32.7% of gross pay at the lowest accident rate, shared by the company and the employee, and a flat 10% income tax. The payroll calendar, sick pay and the owner's insurance are on the page about payroll in Bulgaria.

€1,551.96Take-home pay from €2,000 gross a month

The rates in the table are for employees born after 1959. An example for €2,000 gross a month: the employee pays €275.60 in contributions and €172.44 in income tax and takes home €1,551.96. The company adds €378.40, so the salary costs it €2,378.40 a month.

3 daysTo register a contract, then payroll each month

We enter a new employment contract in the employment register within 3 days of signing. We prepare the payslips and the two monthly declarations, and the contributions and the tax are due to the National Revenue Agency by the 25th of the following month.

Contribution	Company	Employee
State pension	8.22%	6.58%
Second-pillar pension fund	2.8%	2.2%
Sickness and maternity	2.1%	1.4%
Unemployment	0.6%	0.4%

How you work with your accountant in Bulgaria

You upload the month's invoices and cash reports in your account by the 5th. We post them and write to you about anything that is missing.

Books in euros: standards, audit and SAF-T

1.95583Books in euros since 1 January 2026

The euro has been Bulgaria's currency since 1 January 2026. On that day the accountant restated each balance at the fixed rate of 1.95583 leva for one euro, and invoices, ledgers, returns and tax payments have been in euros since. The statements for 2026 are the first full year in the new currency.

4 rulesWhat the law asks of the books

Two are on how they are kept and signed:

The books are double-entry and kept in Bulgarian, under the National Accounting Standards. Your accountant explains every figure in English.
Two signatures go on the yearly statements: the director's and that of the preparer, who is an accounting firm or an economist with 2 to 8 years of practice, the years set by the level of the degree.

50 yearsPayroll records kept, and ledgers for 10 years

Two more rules of the law cover the audit and the archive:

An audit is compulsory above two of three limits at 31 December: €2,045,168 of assets, €4,090,335 of net sales, 50 employees.
Payroll records are kept for 50 years, ledgers and statements for 10.

2030SAF-T, the monthly ledger file

SAF-T is a monthly electronic file of the ledgers for the tax office. It started with the largest companies on 1 January 2026 and widens each year. A micro-enterprise with a VAT number joins last, on 1 January 2030, and we file it with the monthly returns when your company's turn comes. The date for each size of company: accounting requirements in Bulgaria.

Questions about accounting services in Bulgaria

How much does an accountant cost in Bulgaria?

From €150 a month for a company with up to 30 documents a month, and €190 for 31 to 60. A VAT number adds €30, and each employee above two adds €8, all before VAT. A VAT-registered shop with 50 documents a month and four employees pays €190 + €30 + €16 = €236.

Is the corporate tax return part of the monthly price?

Yes. The tariff from €150 a month covers the yearly corporate tax return and the annual accounts. The guide to corporate tax in Bulgaria shows how the 10% is worked out.

Can I keep the books of my Bulgarian company myself?

With the preparer's qualification, yes: an economics education and 2 to 8 years of practice, the years set by the level of the degree.

Does a Bulgarian company need an audit?

Not until it passes two of three limits at the end of the year: €2,045,168 of assets, €4,090,335 of net sales, 50 employees. Every company still publishes its yearly statements in the Trade Register by 30 September.

In which currency does a Bulgarian company keep its books?

In euros. The lev gave way to the euro on 1 January 2026, so the books, the invoices and the returns are in euros.

What does a company with no activity file?

One declaration of no activity, sent to the Trade Register by 30 June of the following year in place of the statements and the tax return. We file it for €120.
