Taxation in Bulgaria
It is important to note that after obtaining a residency status in Bulgaria, all taxes and social security contributions are due in Bulgaria, where the rates are much lower than almost all EU countries (i.e. maximum 500 EUR / month for the social security, 6% to 10% for the personal taxes and 5% for the taxation of the dividends).
Buying property
Buying property in Bulgaria offers great value for money as real estate prices and costs of living could be very low. In case you want to buy a property in order to resell it at a later stage, this is also a very good investment as in recent years the property market in Bulgaria has been developing rapidly and it is very dynamic, with high demand and interest both from local and EU citizens. Citizens of Member States of the European Union or companies registered in EU may acquire property – both land and buildings, in Bulgaria freely under the same conditions as local residents. Foreigners and foreign legal entities outside EU may acquire property only to buildings and limited property rights (such as the right to use, construction right, etc. but not ownership right) to land in the country. Whether you need preliminary research and analysis of the property market, or you have already chosen the right property for you, you can contact us for legal advice and support throughout the entire process of transfer of ownership until the final acquisition of the property. We can provide you with a step-by-step guide how to safely buy your property in Bulgaria. Our experts can help you with: - legal research of the property:checking its ownership, whetherthere are encumbrances, mortgages,etc., which is of great importance when making such an investment; - preparation of the necessarydocuments (preliminary contract,notary deed) - representation through power of attorney.
