Intrastat reporting is overseen by the Bulgarian National Revenue Agency.
Bulgarian Intrastat
Bulgarian VAT registered businesses, both resident and non-resident, will be required to submit additional reporting on the movement of goods across EU borders. These are in addition to VAT returns. These ‘Intrastat’ filings list the movement of goods across national borders. As well as sales and purchases to other companies, it includes movements of goods by the same company.
When do Bulgarian Intrastat reports have to be completed?
If resident or non-resident companies move goods across the Bulgarian national border to or from other EU countries, there may be a requirement to complete monthly Intrastat declarations.
Intrastat filings list the goods sent out of Bulgaria as ‘dispatches’, as well as goods brought into Bulgaria as ‘arrivals’. Intrastat does not apply if the goods are coming in from outside of Europe (‘imports’) or being sent out of the EU (‘exports’).
What are the Bulgarian Intrastat reporting thresholds?
All businesses must indicate the total value of supplies and purchases from other EU member states in their VAT return. Where the dispatches and/or arrivals exceed certain thresholds, the business is required to provide additional information through Intrastat "Supplementary Declarations" (SDs). The threshold for Bulgarian SDs is BGN 410,000 for arrivals and BGN 240,000 for dispatches.
Additional statistical reporting is required if thresholds reach BGN10.7M for dispatches and BGN 5M for arrivals.
