Statutory Classification & Directives

Under official European Commission regulations and national legislation in Bulgaria, supplies of Baby Products & Infant Care are subject to the 20% standard rate.

Statutory Note: Essential infant nutrition, baby diapers, and car seats qualify for zero or reduced rates in certain Member States (IE, UK, PL, FR, ES, IT), whereas general nursery furniture and baby toys are subject to the standard rate.
Cross-Border B2B Supplies (Art. 196)
When selling to a VAT-registered business customer in Bulgaria from another EU member state, the reverse-charge mechanism applies. The invoice is issued with 0% VAT, citing "Reverse charge: Art. 196 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC".
B2C Distance Sales & One Stop Shop (OSS)
Sales to private consumers in Bulgaria require charging Bulgaria VAT (20%) once your pan-EU cross-border sales exceed €10,000. These obligations can be consolidated into a single quarterly OSS return without local registration.
Physical Inventory & Amazon Pan-EU FBA
Holding stock within a fulfillment warehouse located in Bulgaria creates an immediate domestic VAT registration obligation regardless of sales volume. OSS cannot be used to report domestic supplies from local inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions

The statutory VAT rate on Baby Products & Infant Care in Bulgaria is 20% (Standard), synchronized with the European Commission Directorate-General for Taxation and Customs Union (TEDB) database.
Yes. Under Council Directive 2006/112/EC Art. 196, cross-border B2B supplies of services between EU taxable persons trigger the mandatory reverse charge. The customer self-accounts for VAT in Bulgaria, and the supplier issues a zero-rated invoice referencing Art. 196 / Art. 226(11a).
EU-established sellers can utilize the pan-EU €10,000 threshold (Council Directive 2006/112/EC Art. 59c). Once total cross-border B2C sales across all EU member states exceed €10,000 in a calendar year, destination-country VAT applies, which can be reported via the One Stop Shop (Union OSS) quarterly return.
Non-EU businesses holding stock locally (e.g. in Amazon Pan-EU FBA warehouses located in Bulgaria) must maintain a direct domestic VAT registration. For goods imported under €150 directly to consumers, the Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) can be utilized instead.
