Your Bulgarian certificate,
mapped in two minutes

The National Revenue Agency issues the certificate free of charge — but only for one country and one tax year at a time, and only if your residency ground actually holds. This tool shows you which ground applies, how many filings your situation needs, and where your treaty stops following the standard model.

1

Which ground makes you a Bulgarian tax resident?

Art. 4 of the Personal Income Tax Act lists four alternative grounds. Any single one is enough — you do not need all of them. Citizenship is expressly irrelevant.

Where do you need to present it, and for which years?

Where will you file the application?

Form Okd-273 goes to the National Revenue Agency. The statutory deadline depends on which office receives it.

Where a treaty departs from the standard model, the actual treaty text governs and needs to be read.
