This service is designed for individuals who want to operate independently in Bulgaria without setting up a company.
Registering as a freelancer (self-employed person) allows you to legally provide services, issue invoices, and operate under your personal name while benefiting from a simplified structure compared to a company.
This option is suitable for consultants, IT specialists, designers, marketers, and other professionals working on their own account, who are EU citizens.
Taxes & Fixed Costs
Freelancers in Bulgaria benefit from one of the most competitive tax systems in the EU.
Flat personal income tax: 10% on taxable income
Recognized expenses (normative costs):
25% for most service activities
40% for certain professions (e.g. authors, artists)
This means you are taxed only on 60%–75% of your income, depending on the activity
Social security contributions:
Mandatory, based on a chosen monthly income (between minimum and maximum thresholds)
Typically range between ~27%–32% of the declared income
Minimum monthly contributions apply even if no income is generated
Health insurance contributions are included in the above and are mandatory
VAT registration:
Required if annual turnover exceeds the legal threshold
May be required earlier in cross-border (EU) situations
Overall, this structure makes freelance activity in Bulgaria highly efficient, especially for individuals with low operating expenses.
