Do I need VAT registration in Bulgaria?
It depends on your clients, place of supply, turnover and type of service. We review the facts before giving a yes/no answer.
Should I register as a freelancer or a company?
The better option depends on income level, expenses, risk, client expectations, VAT position and long-term plans.
How are freelancers taxed in Bulgaria?
Freelancers are generally taxed through the personal income tax system, but the exact treatment depends on registration, activity and deductible expenses.
Can I invoice clients outside the EU?
Yes, but VAT treatment, invoice wording and reporting may differ depending on the client and service type.
