Who this applies to

  • All Bulgarian-resident companies (OOD, EOOD, AD, EAT, etc.)
  • Branches of foreign companies operating in Bulgaria
  • Partnerships taxed as separate persons under CITA

What to file

Form 1010A with profit and loss reconciliation, schedules for tax depreciation, related-party transactions, and any tax loss carry-forwards.

How to file

Online via the NRA portal (nra.bg) using qualified electronic signature.

Payment due

Balance of CT due 31 March. Quarterly advance payments (15 Apr/Jul/Oct/Dec) reduce the year-end balance.

Penalties for missing this deadline

Late filing fine BGN 500 – BGN 3,000 (initial); doubled for repeated. Late payment interest at the central bank reference rate + 10% per annum (currently approximately 13–14%).

Filing checklist

  • Reconcile accounting profit to taxable income (tax depreciation differences, etc.)
  • Apply 10% Corporate Income Tax
  • Subtract advance payments made during the year
  • Apply any loss carry-forwards (5-year limit)
  • File Form 1010A via NRA portal
  • Pay balance via bank transfer to NRA

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Forgetting tax depreciation differs from book depreciation
  • Missing the 10% expense tax on representation/entertainment (Article 204)
  • Not tracking loss carry-forwards (5-year limit)
  • Missing related-party disclosures
