Who can use the Tax relief tool?2024-11-04T10:17:37+02:00

Тhe tool is free and accessible for all persons who wish to optimize the completion of the declaration, with which to exercise their right to tax relief.

Sb customers will receive the collected data in order to optimize the administration of the tax relief, and companies that are not Sb clients may contact us to specify the method of transmission of the collected data for their employees.

Do I lose the right to use the tax relief if I missed the deadline to submit my declaration to my employer?2024-11-04T10:24:31+02:00

No, you do not lose the right. You simply won’t be able to use your employer as an intermediary. You can still take advantage of the tax relief by independently submitting an annual tax return by April 30 and attaching the corresponding tax relief declaration (under Article 22v and/or Article 22g of the Personal Income Tax Act).

If we have an undelivered fine from the traffic police (KAT) that we cannot yet pay, can we still benefit from the tax deductions for children?2024-11-04T12:04:52+02:00

If the fine is delivered between November 30th and December 31st the person can take advantage of the tax deduction through their employer. Alternatively, if the fine is received later but by April 30th (next year) the person can benefit from the tax deduction by independently filling out and submitting an annual tax return, attaching the relevant declaration for tax relief for children and/or children with disabilities (under Article 22v and/or Article 22g of the Personal Income Tax Act (ZDDFL)).

 

If you do not wish to wait for the fine to be delivered, you can go to the respective regional office of the traffic police (KAT) and receive the fine in person.

 

What is the deadline for paying public liabilities? Is November 30 a realistic deadline to clear them?2024-11-04T10:40:46+02:00

If an individual wishes to take advantage of submitting a tax relief declaration for children and/or children with disabilities through their employer, the deadline for paying all public liabilities is the moment the corresponding declaration (under Article 22v and/or Article 22g of the Personal Income Tax Act) is submitted to the employer, which can be done at any time between November 30 and December 31.

 

If the individual claims the tax relief independently through their annual tax return, public liabilities must be cleared by the time of its submission (the final deadline for this is April 30 of the following year).

Is it correct that the parent must have no debts to the National Revenue Agency (NRA) to take advantage of the measure? How can this be checked if the parent wants to recover the amount through their employer?2024-11-04T10:48:08+02:00

Yes, it is correct that in order to take advantage of the measure, the parent must have no public liabilities subject to enforcement. The individual can check whether they have any debts by reviewing their tax and social security account with the NRA or at the relevant municipality. The employer is not required to verify this; they rely on the employee’s statement in the declaration under Article 22v or Article 22g of the Personal Income Tax Act.

Regarding the requirement that the individual must have no outstanding liabilities – does this mean that all due taxes for properties, vehicles, fines to the traffic police, and similar obligations must be paid for the year in which the relief is claimed?2024-11-04T10:51:24+02:00

Exactly/Precisely. The requirement to settle public liabilities includes obligations for local taxes, fees, and fines.

Can the employer refuse to reimburse the amounts through them if they are unable to do so, given that the amounts might be significant and could pose a problem for smaller companies?2024-11-04T10:55:20+02:00

Since the law does not impose a penalty if an employer refuses to accept the declaration for tax relief for children or children with disabilities, it is possible that such a situation could occur without specific adverse consequences for the employer. However, the employer’s refusal does not deprive the individual of their right to claim the relief – they can still do so by submitting their annual tax return.

Should it be declared if the other parent had passed away?2024-11-04T10:58:42+02:00

In the case of the other parent passing away or if the other parent is not known, it isn’t necessary to fill out the details about the other parent in the declaration (по чл. 22в/ 22г от ЗДДФл) if they are unknown or have passed away.

As of which date must we have no liabilities to the National Revenue Agency (NRA)?2024-11-04T11:21:17+02:00

When the declaration under Article 22v or Article 22g of the Personal Income Tax Act (ZDDFL) is submitted through the employer, public liabilities must be settled by the date the declaration is submitted to the employer. The deadline for submitting the declaration through the employer is between November 30 and December 31.

When the declaration under Article 22v or Article 22g of the ZDDFL is submitted personally by the parent with the annual tax return (ATR), the liabilities must be settled by the date the ATR is submitted, but no later than April 30.

Is it mandatory to attach the child’s birth certificate?2024-11-04T11:32:53+02:00

When the parent claiming the relief is a Bulgarian citizen, there is no need to attach a birth certificate. The child’s Personal Identification Number (EGN) is filled out directly in the declaration under Article 22v/Article 22g of the Personal Income Tax Act (ZDDFL).

When the parent is a foreign individual, the child’s birth certificate should be attached to the declaration. Individuals from the European Union can use the European birth certificate form, which does not require an official translation or an apostille.

Will you notify us if the amount is insufficient for our employee to take advantage of the tax relief, so that we can inform them and they can decide whether the other parent will submit or declare it to the state?2024-11-04T11:36:18+02:00

Due to the specifics of the process for calculating compensation, we will not be able to notify our clients in advance whether a given person has the necessary taxable income to take advantage of the tax relief. However, when the calculations are presented for approval, this information will be available, and there will be time to discuss it with employees and potentially make any necessary changes.

How will employees with an electronic file and electronic signature be able to sign the generated declaration? Will it appear in the employee’s electronic file, or does it need to be uploaded there for signing?2024-11-04T11:40:09+02:00

If the employer has implemented the Sb system for electronic employee files and decides to do so, the electronically collected declarations will be uploaded to the employee’s file and sent to them for signing.

 

Can I benefit from / use the declaration filling platform without a QES? Should we provide a signature from the employee?2024-11-04T11:42:10+02:00

Yes, the employees will have to print out the declarations they receive by email, sign them, and hand them over to their employer.

Do employees who are third-country nationals have the right to this tax relief?2024-11-04T11:46:26+02:00

If the employees are tax residents of an EU member state or a country that is part of the European Economic Area (EEA) agreement, they can benefit from the relief, provided they also meet the other legal criteria.

What happens when an employee has started working at the company in September or October?2024-11-04T11:50:29+02:00

For this particular employee, their income for the entire year is considered. It should be noted that for the period before September, they need to provide a certificate from their previous employer under Article 45 of the Personal Income Tax Act to determine the tax base for the entire year. If the employee has never worked before and has no previous employer, only the income from September to the end of the year will be considered.

What happens in a mixed case—for example, three children, one of whom has a disability?2024-11-04T11:54:44+02:00

The employee fills out two declarations. One under Article 22v, paragraph 8 of the Personal Income Tax Act  for the three children, and another under Article 22g, paragraph 7 of the Personal Income Tax Act for the child with a disability.

How can I tell from my payslip if I’m eligible to use tax relief? That is, whether my income and the taxes I’ve paid are sufficient?2024-11-04T11:56:49+02:00

You need to add up the tax bases from all your payslips for the entire year. Each payslip has a line showing the tax base for that month.

If during the current year I have generated income outside of my main salary and need to file an annual tax declaration (which is submitted in the following calendar year), how should I proceed? Does this affect the submission of the tax relief for children declarations?2024-11-04T12:06:27+02:00

The employee has the right to claim tax relief for children through their employer, even if they will be filing an annual tax declaration. In the annual tax declaration, they will simply need to indicate the number of their children in the appropriate section.

What if the employee quits?2024-11-04T12:08:44+02:00

If the employee leaves before or during December, they will claim their tax relief through their next employer by providing a certificate under Article 45 of the Personal Income Tax Act  from their previous employer.

If they will not have a new employer, they will need to submit an annual tax declaration.

Could I get tax relief for children through my employer even if I file my annual declaration on my own after that?2024-11-04T12:12:20+02:00

Yes, you can benefit from tax relief when you are with your employer and file an annual declaration after that.

An employee who was on maternity leave this year and returned at the end of November – can they still submit the declaration, or is it better for the other parent to submit it?2024-11-04T12:17:14+02:00

It’s better if the other files/provides the parent to their employer because they have a higher annual taxable income.

If I had two different employers throughout the year, where should I file my declaration?2024-11-04T12:19:51+02:00

You should file your declaration to your last (current) employer.

If the amount of my tax relief is higher than the sum of my annual taxable income, and I don’t want to use the tax relief through my employer, what are the other options I can use?2024-11-04T12:22:08+02:00

Option 1: The other parent can claim this tax relief.

Option 2: The employee can submit an annual tax return.

Where can I see what my annual taxable income (up until the current moment) is?2024-11-04T12:24:08+02:00

The employee must add all the taxable incomes from their payslips until now.

A self-employed person – will they be able to take advantage of the tax relief if they have/have not provided personal labor?2024-11-04T12:27:37+02:00

Self-employed individuals can also benefit from tax relief for children through their annual tax return, regardless of whether they have provided personal labor.

If the employee is unable to provide a certificate under Article 45 from the previous employer, what amount will they receive?2024-11-04T12:30:40+02:00

Only the annual taxable income from the current employer will be used.

However, if the employee knows they will receive the certificate later, it is better to submit an annual tax return directly. This way, they can use the total annual taxable income from all employers. Otherwise, they risk not being able to fully utilize the tax relief with their current employer, and the other parent may need to submit an annual tax return.
