Multinational and large national enterprise groups will be required to pay additional tax. The decision was made during the first reading of the envisaged changes in the Bulgarian parliament. MPs approved changes to the Corporate Income Tax Act, which introduce the rules of the European Directive to ensure the minimum effective taxation of large multinational and large state-owned companies operating in the EU single market through primary and secondary taxation.

In addition, a national additional tax of 5% is being introduced, in accordance with the directive on the taxation of national subsidiaries of foreign companies. Minimum effective taxation will apply to companies with a turnover of at least 750,000,000 euros. The changes also provide that foreign individuals are obliged to pay taxes in accordance with the Law on Taxation of Individuals, only on the basis of income received from sources in Bulgaria. Voting on the amendments at second reading is scheduled for November 27.
