Electronic Invoicing in Bulgaria
Is e-invoicing mandatory in Bulgaria ?
In Bulgaria e-invoices must be accepted by the governmental bodies in line with Directive 2014/55/EU; However, there is no full B2G mandate considering suppliers have no obligation to issue electronic invoices.(with some exceptions for certain taxable persons).
Regarding B2B, Bulgarian VAT law permits electronic invoicing in line with EU Directive 2010/45/EU. Nevertheless, there is no e-invoice mandate.
Even today post audit is the prevailing invoicing model, an e-invoice in Bulgaria must be permitted subject to the agreement between customers and suppliers. Acceptance could be explicit or tacit. Furthermore, taxpayers must guarantee e-invoice I&A.
Following the last CTC invoicing trends in Italy and regulations in France and Poland, Bulgarian authorities have expressed their intention to shift towards a clearance model on electronic invoicing.
In this model, taxpayers will be obliged to register sales invoices before the Bulgarian Tax Authorities for near real time validation and acceptance. Bulgaria's National Revenue Agency (NRA) started public discussions and consultations with different stakeholders on the implementation of e-invoicing in the Balkan country. Official changes are expected to be published soon.
