Rental income

The rental income depends on the type and the location of the property that you buy. The rental market in the bigger cities like Sofia, Varna or Bourgas is quite competitive and developed. In Sofia and Varna, for example, you can expect an annual return on investment (ROI) of about 10% per year. However, this does not include the price appreciation, which is about 20% per year.

On the other hand, at the resort areas on the Black Sea coast and the ski resorts the rental market is seasonal in nature. For example, in some areas like Nessebar, Saint Vlas, Sunny Beach) one can expect good rental occupancy of the property during the entire summer season (June, July, August) and weak occupancy during the shoulder seasons of Spring and Autumn.

Rental income taxation:
Although rental income is subject to taxation by the Bulgarian Government, in practice not many of the private individuals, foreign or Bulgarian, who rent out their properties declare that in front of the tax authorities. The basis of the taxable income of a company, investing in Bulgarian real property is the gross income derived from the property minus tax-deductible, property-related expenses and depreciation. Such expenses include repairs, maintenance, renovation and similar costs and interest on loans used for the acquisition of the property. A Municipal Tax at a rate of 10% of the profit is due. This is then deductible in calculating taxable profits which are subject to a flat rate of 25%. Foreign investors are guaranteed full repatriation of profits resulting from an investment in Bulgaria. The transfer abroad can be made only after the bank effecting the transfer is presented a certificate proving payment of all Bulgarian taxes due.
