What changes financially when you move to Bulgaria?

Tick where your income comes from. You then see which rules Bulgaria and the Netherlands apply to your situation — which country may tax, which schemes exist and how you become insured. With the source, so you can check it.

Where does your income come from?

Several answers possible. A mixed pension is the rule rather than the exception.

AOWJe ontvangt AOW, of gaat die binnen je traject ontvangen.BedrijfspensioenPensioen opgebouwd bij een werkgever buiten de overheid.Pensioen uit overheidsdienstABP-jaren als ambtenaar, leraar in het openbaar onderwijs, politie of defensie.Loon uit werk ter plaatseJe gaat in het land zelf in loondienst werken.Zelfstandig werk ter plaatseJe gaat er als zzp'er of ondernemer werken.Huur, dividend of renteInkomen uit vermogen dat buiten je nieuwe woonland zit.Lijfrente of aanmerkelijk belangEen lijfrentepolis, of 5% of meer van de aandelen in een bv.

This applies to everyone who moves. Tick above what applies to you, and the rest is added.

This is not tax advice

These are the rules that apply to your situation, not the outcome of them. With Bulgaria the outcome for pension and AOW is unusually simple: the Netherlands taxes, Bulgaria doesn't, and there is nothing to exempt or to credit. The conversation with a tax adviser here is about the rest — work, profit, rent and assets — and about whether commuting between two countries is wise for you. Take this list to that conversation.

And then the journey itself

Knowing which rules apply is the first half. The second is applying them in time: in the right order, with the deadlines watched and the documents at hand.
