Short Summary
A Bulgarian company can pay rent for an apartment, but the payment is not automatically a tax-deductible business expense. The property must have a genuine business purpose, and the arrangement should be supported by proper documentation.
If the apartment is used partly or entirely for private purposes, different tax treatment may apply. Mixed use should be reasonably separated, and when the landlord is an individual, the company may also have advance income tax and reporting obligations.
