Practical guides on Bulgarian tax, company formation, and business optimization — written by lawyers who handle these processes daily.
Moving from Belgium to Bulgaria? Compare selling before departure, holding through the conditional 24-month window and selling later. The 2026 rules apply to departures from 1 May 2026 under published Belgian guidance.
A Q4 2026 arrival usually crosses 183 days only in 2027 (17 May 2027 for a 15 November arrival), but earlier 2026 visits or a centre of vital interests can make 2026 your Bulgarian year. Worked dates, the treaty tie-breaker and what to file for 2026 vs 2027.
Directive 2024/1233 requires 90-day decisions and a right to change employer. Bulgaria's transposing bill passed first reading on 16 September 2026 but is not law yet, so here is what applies today.
The drafts would lift the VAT threshold to €75,000 from 1 January 2027, extend loss relief to 10 years with a 70% annual cap and require structured B2B e-invoices in 2028; the 10% income and corporate tax rates and the dividend tax rate are not amended. What would change, what is still open and what to do now.
For the professional PoS operator, not the passive staker: node-as-a-business tax, EOOD 15%, node-as-PE, delegation-commission VAT, slashing, liquid staking & restaking — and the MiCA line.
Your affiliate commission is business income — not tax-free gambling winnings (that exemption is the player’s). The banking reality, VAT on marketing services, and Bulgaria’s 10% / 15% base.
Bulgaria grants authors a 40% statutory expense allowance — so book royalties, screenplay residuals, translation and licence income are taxed at an effective ~6%. How it works and exactly what qualifies.
Not ‘how is crypto taxed’ but ‘how is an artist taxed’. The resale royalties that never arrive, the AI-art copyright gap, and the VAT question most miss — plus Bulgaria’s ~6–9% base.
Leaving Canada triggers a deemed disposition — tax on unrealised gains before you go. How to manage that one-off exit, then land on Bulgaria’s 10% flat and 15% combined base.
Secondaries and tender offers let you sell private stock before the IPO. Establish a genuine Bulgarian residence before the sale closes and the gain is taxed at 10% — not your home rate.
Renouncing US citizenship can trigger the §877A mark-to-market exit tax for covered expatriates. What it costs, who it hits, and where Bulgaria’s 10% flat fits — the honest picture.
US VCs want a Delaware parent — but your residence drives your personal tax. The 30%-default dividend withholding, the US–Bulgaria treaty rate, and the Bulgarian EOOD alternative.
Under the Common Reporting Standard your bank auto-reports you to your country of residence every year. You can’t hide — but you can legitimately relocate to Bulgaria’s 10% flat.
Under OECD Article 17 you’re taxed where you perform — you cannot move that. But residence decides royalties, streaming and image rights. How Bulgaria’s 10% base fits (athletes too).
A faceless AI brand is a digital business taxed by residence — 10% flat in Bulgaria. Plus the two questions most miss: can you copyright AI content, and the AI Act labelling rule.
Spain taxes your net worth every year — and the Solidarity Tax on Large Fortunes above €3M applies even in Madrid. How a genuine move to Bulgaria removes both (no wealth tax, 10% flat).
Living off dividends and index funds? Bulgaria taxes dividends at 5%, exempts EU-listed share gains with no holding period, and has no wealth tax — the EU’s most FIRE-friendly base.
Pilots, cabin crew and yacht crew have no fixed workplace — so residence drives the tax. How a genuine Bulgarian base can bring income to 10% flat.
Gambling tax varies wildly by country and residence decides it. The pro-vs-recreational line, and how a low-tax Bulgarian base is assessed — 10% where taxable.
Crypto salary, token grants and DAO pay are income when received — often 40%+ at home. With DAC8 live in 2026, become Bulgarian resident and the same income is taxed at 10% flat.
AI agency, automation or SaaS founder? As an EU citizen you move to Bulgaria with no visa and tax it at 10% flat, ~7.5% freelance or 15% via an EOOD — plus the VAT/OSS setup founders get wrong.
RSUs are taxed as income at vesting — often 40%+. The vesting-period sourcing rule decides how much each country taxes, and moving to Bulgaria early cuts the forward portion to 10%.
Greece’s expat & non-dom breaks are temporary, and self-employed Greeks face presumptive tax + EFKA. How Bulgaria makes 10% (or ~7.5% freelance) permanent — no expiry.
Norway taxes unrealized share gains when you leave — and the old 5-year escape is gone. How §10-70 works, the wealth-tax push, and the clean Bulgaria landing (10%, no wealth tax).
Your company has a tax residence too. Run it on the move and place-of-effective-management, PE & CFC rules bite. How Bulgaria gives it one clean 15% home.
The DNV is a 2-year guest pass (€27.5k income rule, no PR path, no automatic tax residency). Company & freelance routes run the 5-year PR clock — all three compared for 2026.
