Frequently Asked Questions

When are the Bulgarian VAT return and VAT payment due?
Every VAT-registered business files the monthly VAT return (справка-декларация) with its purchase and sales ledgers, and the VIES declaration if it made intra-EU supplies, by the 14th of the following month, and pays the VAT by the same date. If the 14th is a weekend or holiday, the deadline moves to the next working day.
When is the corporate income tax return due in Bulgaria?
The annual CIT return under Art. 92 ZKPO is filed between 1 March and 30 June of the following year, and the 10% corporate tax, less advances paid, is due by 30 June. Advance payments are monthly (net sales above BGN 3,000,000 / €1,533,875.64) or quarterly, due 15 April, 15 July and 1 December.
When must individuals file the Bulgarian personal income tax return?
Between 10 January and 30 April of the following year (30 June for sole traders). Filing electronically and paying by 31 March earns a 5% discount, capped at BGN 500 (€255.65).
When do employers pay social security contributions and payroll tax?
By the 25th of the month after the month the work was done. Declarations Образец № 1 and № 6 are filed by the same date, and the income tax withheld from salaries is paid then too.
How often is VAT filed in Bulgaria?
This calendar shows a monthly VAT filing — 12 of them across the 2026–2027 calendar. The law sets the 14th of the month; when that is a weekend or public holiday the calendar shows the next working day. Filing frequency depends on the turnover band and the scheme a business is registered under, so a smaller business may report less often than the monthly cycle listed here. Confirm your own frequency with National Revenue Agency (NRA).
When is the corporate income tax return due in Bulgaria?
Jun 30, 2026 — Annual corporate income tax return and payment (чл. 92 ЗКПО) — 2025 and Jun 30, 2027 — Annual corporate income tax return and payment (чл. 92 ЗКПО) — 2026. Bulgaria's tax year in this calendar runs January 1 to December 31, so a company on a non-calendar financial year will have different dates. National Revenue Agency (NRA) publishes the authoritative schedule.
When is the personal income tax return due in Bulgaria?
Apr 30, 2026 (Annual personal income tax return and payment (чл. 50 ЗДДФЛ) — 2025), Jun 30, 2026 (Annual return and tax payment for sole traders (ЕТ) — 2025), May 5, 2027 (Annual personal income tax return and payment (чл. 50 ЗДДФЛ) — 2026) and Jun 30, 2027 (Annual return and tax payment for sole traders (ЕТ) — 2026). Extensions and agent-filed deadlines can differ; the dates above are the ones shown on this calendar.
How often are payroll and social security contributions paid in Bulgaria?
The calendar lists 12 payroll & social security deadlines on the 25th for the 2026–2027 period — a monthly cycle. Employer obligations depend on headcount and payroll size.
What does this Bulgaria tax calendar cover?
170 filing and payment deadlines for 2026–2027, grouped by month: payroll & social security, other, prepayments, ec sales list, vat, personal income tax, property tax and corporate tax. Each entry names the form where one applies and flags public holidays that fall near a deadline. The authority behind these dates is National Revenue Agency (NRA).
Is this calendar official National Revenue Agency (NRA) guidance?
No. It is a plain-English summary built to help you plan, and it is not tax advice. Dates can change, and your own obligations depend on your registration, turnover and scheme. Always confirm against National Revenue Agency (NRA) before you rely on a date, and speak to a qualified adviser about your own situation.
Do EU-wide VAT rules change these Bulgaria dates?
The EU VAT Directive sets a common framework, but each member state keeps its own filing calendar, thresholds and rates — which is why Bulgaria has its own page here rather than a shared EU one. If you sell across borders, the One-Stop Shop lets you declare VAT centrally instead of registering in each country.

Before you file or pay

How to verify a Bulgaria tax deadline

1. Match the obligation. Check the tax type, period, registration and filing method. A VAT, payroll or income-tax date may not apply to every taxpayer.
2. Check the live notice. Public holidays, agent arrangements, extensions and account-specific instructions can change the operational due date.
3. Keep proof. Save the submission receipt and payment confirmation. Filing and paying can be separate actions with separate cut-off times.

Why this matters: missed dates can lead to late filing charges, interest, loss of a relief or an avoidable compliance review. This page is a planning aid, not a legal determination. It was last content-reviewed on 2026-10-09; verify the live rule with National Revenue Agency (NRA) before acting.
