Frequently asked questions
Can a non-EU citizen own and manage a Bulgarian company?
Yes. Citizenship is not a restriction for owning or managing an EOOD or OOD. You do not need a Bulgarian co-owner or a Bulgarian manager.
Can the registration be done remotely?
In most cases yes, through a notarised power of attorney with an apostille and a certified translation. Banks may require the owner to appear in person once to open the account.
What taxes does a Bulgarian company pay?
Corporate income tax is 10%. Dividends paid to individuals are taxed at 5%. VAT is 20%, and VAT registration is mandatory once taxable turnover in a calendar year exceeds 51 130 €.
Does owning a company give me the right to live in Bulgaria?
No, not by itself. Owning or managing a company from abroad does not require a residence permit, but living in Bulgaria does. The conditions depend on your situation – Doychin Mehov will explain them when you talk.
