Bulgaria VAT Calculator

The standard rate is 20% — applied to most goods and services. The reduced rate is 9% — for hotels, restaurants, baby food and diapers, and books. A 0% rate applies to exports outside the EU and to intra-EU B2B supplies (with a valid VIES VAT number for the buyer).

Multiply the net price by (1 + rate). At 20%: gross = net × 1.20. Example: €100 × 1.20 = €120. VAT = €20.

Divide the gross price by (1 + rate). At 20%: net = gross ÷ 1.20. Example: €120 ÷ 1.20 = €100. VAT = €20. A common mistake is "subtract 20% from the gross" — that gives €96, not €100.

Bulgaria joined the eurozone on 1 January 2026 and the official currency is the euro. The Bulgarian lev (BGN) remains legal tender for cash payments until 30 June 2026 at the locked rate 1 EUR = 1.95583 BGN. Prices and invoices are now denominated in EUR; the calculator shows an approximate BGN equivalent for the transition period.

Mandatory registration when turnover exceeds €51,130 in any rolling 12-month window (ЗДДС threshold). Voluntary registration is available regardless of turnover. This calculator does not run any automatic registration check — it only computes amounts.

First convert from BGN to EUR using the locked rate 1.95583, then compute VAT on the euro amount. The result is identical because the rate is fixed. Example: 100 BGN ÷ 1.95583 = €51.13; 20% VAT = €10.23; gross = €61.35 ≈ 120 BGN.
