Bulgarian Inheritance Tax


Bulgarian inheritance tax is payable by non-resident beneficiaries on certain transferred assets. The tax rate depends on the relationship between the parties and the size of the inheritance. The lineal heirs are completely exempt from this tax. For all other beneficiaries the tax rate will apply only on property with a valuation above €125,000. Brothers and sisters pay 0.7% Bulgarian IHT on the amount above €125,000; any other person pays 5%.
