Bulgaria raises VAT registration threshold 2025

Annual threshold for VAT restoration rises to BGN 166,000  from 1 January 2025

Bulgarian has confirmed a rise in the annual VAT registration threshold from 1 January 2025. It will increase from the current BGN 100,000 (approx. €51,000) to BGN 166,000 (approx. €85,000).

Bulgaria estimates that 200 000 companies in Bulgaria would be exempted from mandatory VAT registration. Depending on how many companies choose to de-register, the state coffers will lose between 85 million and 130 million leva, they said.

At the same time, it is removing the obligation for non-EU businesses registering in Brussels under the non-Union OSS/IOSS to appoint a fiscal representative.

The current VAT rate in Bulgaria is 20%. If you want live updated on this or other VAT / GST news, sign-up here. for free email news updates.
