EDIH NWACB and EY Bulgaria will bring together business representatives and experts at The Venue Hall, Incubator Building, Sofia Tech Park to discuss reporting challenges, share experiences and explore the practical implications of R&D tax incentives. The main speakers will be Milen Raikov and Viktor Mitev, partners at EY Bulgaria, joined by other experts. Participants will have the opportunity to raise questions relevant to their organisations and exchange perspectives with colleagues from the sector. SAF-T: Practical Lessons for Companies The first session will examine SAF-T implementation in Bulgaria, drawing on experience from the first wave of reporting entities. It will address automotive-specific considerations, challenges encountered during preparation and reporting, and potential solutions. For businesses with extensive supplier networks, inventories and complex production operations, preparing for SAF-T requires reliable data and coordination between finance and IT teams. The discussion will explore what this means for company systems and internal processes. R&D Tax Incentives: Opportunities and Practical Considerations The second session will focus on R&D tax incentives and the conditions companies should consider when assessing their eligibility. The topic is relevant to businesses developing products, components, software, materials or production processes. The session will explore practical questions concerning development activities and expenditure, recognising that eligibility depends on the circumstances of each project. The event will conclude with networking and discussions, offering further opportunities to connect with the speakers and other attendees.
