The standard VAT rate in Bulgaria is 20 %. The reduced rate of 9 % applies to hotel accommodation, books and textbooks, baby food and certain other supplies, while 0 % applies to exports and intra-Community supplies. The calculator works both ways: enter the net amount to get the gross amount, or enter the final price to get the base amount and tax.
This tool is the part of our free invoicing software that people most often look for separately. If you also need the invoice itself, you will find it on the invoicing software page, also with no registration required.
- From the final price to the base amount: divide the price by 1.20 at 20 %, and VAT is the difference. Calculating 20 % of the final price is a mistake that inflates the tax.
- We round to the nearest cent at line level. On the invoice, tax is calculated on the total taxable base, so with many lines containing fractional amounts, there may be a difference of one cent.
