Why Bulgaria

The smartest EU base for
service businesses

💰

14.5% effective tax rate

10% corporate tax + 5% dividend tax. Compare that to 42% in Germany, 45% in France, or 40% in Belgium. The math is simple.

⚡

0% VAT on EU B2B services

Invoice EU business clients under the reverse charge mechanism. Zero VAT on your invoices — your clients handle their own VAT declaration.

📝

Subcontractors are deductible

Pay freelancers and subcontractors as business expenses. Only your net profit is taxed at 10%. A 3-person agency with €200k revenue and €100k in contractor costs pays tax on €100k — not €200k.

🇪🇺

EU company credibility

Enterprise clients want to see an EU-registered company on invoices. A Bulgarian LLC is a fully recognized EU entity with a European VAT number.

🏦

Professional banking

Business accounts with Wise, Revolut, or traditional EU banks. Accept wire transfers in EUR, GBP, USD from any client worldwide.

🛡️

Low social contributions

Minimum social contributions of ~€70/month as self-insured manager. Compare to €800+/month in Germany or France.

Consultants who made the move

☆☆☆☆☆

"I run a small SAP consulting practice billing around €180k/year. Moving from a German GmbH to a Bulgarian EOOD saved me over €30,000 in annual taxes. The transition was seamless — my clients didn't even notice the change in invoicing entity."

Thomas W.

SAP consultant, Munich

☆☆☆☆☆

"Our design agency has 4 regular subcontractors. Being able to deduct their invoices before corporate tax makes a huge difference. We went from paying ~35% effective tax in the Netherlands to about 14.5% in Bulgaria."

Design agency founder, Rotterdam

FAQ

Questions consultants ask us

Yes. Nothing changes for your clients except the invoicing entity. You simply update your contract to invoice from your Bulgarian company. For EU B2B clients, it's actually better — they receive a 0% VAT invoice under reverse charge, which is simpler for their accounting.

Yes. All legitimate business expenses are deductible: subcontractor invoices, software subscriptions, hosting, equipment, travel related to client work, virtual office, accounting fees. The 10% corporate tax is applied only to net profit after all deductions.

Yes. Bulgaria is a full EU member since 2007. Your company has a European VAT number, a Trade Register entry, and is a recognized EU legal entity. Enterprise clients routinely work with suppliers from across the EU. Many of our clients bill Fortune 500 companies through their Bulgarian entities without any issues.

Even better — services exported outside the EU are zero-rated for VAT purposes. You invoice your US, UK, or other non-EU clients with no VAT at all. The 10% corporate tax still applies to your profits, and there are no additional withholding taxes on most service income thanks to Bulgaria's extensive network of double taxation treaties.

Yes, but most consultants and small agencies prefer to work with subcontractors rather than employees. Subcontractor invoices are simpler — you pay them, deduct the cost, and only pay tax on net profit. If you do want employees in Bulgaria, the labor costs are among the lowest in the EU. We can connect you with HR advisors.

The transition is straightforward. We register your Bulgarian company, you wind down invoicing from your sole trader business, and start invoicing from the new entity. Most consultants run both in parallel for a month or two during the transition. Your accountant in your home country can advise on the cleanest way to close your sole trader status.
