The registration shall be made at the National Revenue Agency territorial directorate.<\/p>\n

Any non-resident person, who has a fixed establishment within the territory of Bulgaria<\/strong> from which the said person carries out economic activity and who satisfies the conditions of VAT Act for compulsory registration or for optional registration, shall be registered through the agency of an accredited representative.<\/p>\n

As well, any non-resident person, who is not established in Bulgaria<\/strong> but effects taxable supplies whereof the place of transaction is within the territory of Bulgaria and who satisfies the conditions of VAT Act for compulsory registration or for optional registration, shall be registered through the agency of an accredited representative.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. branches of non-residents;<\/li>\n
  2. non-resident persons who have selected to register for applying a regime outside the EU;<\/li>\n
