Understanding VAT for your
Bulgarian e-commerce company

VAT rules sound complicated. Here's the simple version for the three scenarios you'll encounter.

0%

Selling to EU businesses

When your client has a valid EU VAT number, the reverse charge mechanism applies. You invoice at 0% VAT — your client handles VAT in their country. This is the most common scenario for B2B e-commerce and SaaS.

Most common for B2B
20%

Selling to EU consumers

Selling goods or digital products to individual consumers within the EU requires charging VAT. Bulgaria's standard rate is 20%. For cross-border B2C sales above €10K/year, OSS (One Stop Shop) registration may be needed.

0%

Selling outside the EU

Exports of goods and services to non-EU countries (US, UK, etc.) are zero-rated. You don't charge VAT, making your Bulgarian company the perfect base for global e-commerce operations.

No VAT on exports

Case study
How a Shopify store owner from the Netherlands saved €14,000/year

Jan runs a niche home goods store on Shopify, selling primarily to B2B clients across Europe. Operating as a Dutch sole proprietor, he was paying an effective tax rate of ~40%. After registering a Bulgarian EOOD and routing his EU invoicing through it, his effective rate dropped to 14.5%. The entire setup took 8 days.

FAQ

E-commerce specific questions

Yes. Amazon accepts Bulgarian EU companies for seller accounts across all European marketplaces (Amazon.de, .fr, .it, .es, .nl, .pl, .se). You'll register as a professional seller with your Bulgarian company details and VAT number. FBA warehousing, shipping, and customer service all work the same way regardless of which EU country your company is registered in.
If your cross-border B2C sales to EU consumers exceed €10,000/year combined, you should register for the One Stop Shop (OSS) scheme. OSS lets you report and pay VAT for all EU countries through a single quarterly return in Bulgaria — no need to register for VAT in every country where you sell. We can assist with OSS registration after your company is set up.
Absolutely. Stripe fully supports Bulgarian companies. You can open a Stripe account using your Bulgarian company details, EIK number, and VAT number. Funds can be paid out to your Wise Business account or Bulgarian bank account. Shopify Payments (powered by Stripe), PayPal Business, and all other major payment processors also work with Bulgarian companies.
Within the EU, there are no customs duties — goods move freely between member states. For imports from outside the EU (e.g., from China), your Bulgarian company pays import VAT and customs duties the same as any EU company. Many e-commerce sellers use FBA or a 3PL in Western Europe for warehousing while keeping the company registered in Bulgaria for tax efficiency.
Digital products and SaaS sold B2B within the EU are invoiced at 0% VAT under the reverse charge mechanism. For B2C digital sales, VAT is charged at the rate of the customer's country (the "place of supply" rule). The OSS scheme handles this simply: you file one quarterly return in Bulgaria covering all EU countries. Stripe and Shopify automatically calculate the correct VAT rate per country.
