Taxes
What about the taxes? The “tax estimation price” is for the purposes of real estate taxation. It usually is lower than the actual selling (purchase) price.
Most of the sellers of real estates in Bulgaria wish to sell their property on a “tax estimation price”. Everybody knows that the price is very low and the buyers has got no guarantee they will get the whole sum in the end, either. The difference is concerning the tax issue on the sale – because the sale price needs to be covered by the taxes, and the seller don’t want to pay those taxes. Sometimes sellers prefer to keep the real price, if the property is owned by several owners. Practically, the last ones are not aware of that kind of legal issues.
