What is SAF-T?

SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax) is an internationally recognised standard for the electronic exchange of financial data between companies and tax authorities. It is based on the OECD standard and has been adopted by many European countries, now including Bulgaria.

The Bulgarian implementation follows the international SAF-T standard with local adaptations specific to Bulgarian accounting, tax, and legal requirements. The file is submitted in XML format to the National Revenue Agency (NRA) and covers all financial transactions for a given reporting period.

SAF-T is being introduced in waves. The first wave — covering the 500 largest Bulgarian companies — began in January 2026. The second wave starts 1 January 2027 and will cover a significantly larger group of companies. If your company runs SAP, you are almost certainly in scope.

Important: Non-compliance carries financial penalties. More importantly, submitting an incorrect or incomplete SAF-T file can trigger a full tax audit. Getting it right from the start is not optional — it is essential.

What data does SAF-T contain?

The Bulgarian SAF-T file is structured in four main parts. Each part covers a different aspect of your company's financial data for the reporting period.

01

Header data

Company identification, tax registration details, reporting period, and file metadata required by the NRA.

Company infoVAT numberPeriod
02

Master data

All reference data: general ledger accounts, customers, vendors, materials, and other master records used during the period.

GL accountsCustomersVendorsMaterials
03

GL entries

All general ledger postings for the reporting period — every debit and credit entry with full document reference and account assignment.

04

Source documents

The underlying business transactions: sales invoices, purchase invoices, and payment documents that generated the GL entries.

A better way to do SAF-T

SAF-T Go is a custom SAF-T solution developed from scratch by a senior SAP FICO expert with 20 years of experience in the Bulgarian market. It works on both SAP ECC and S/4HANA, and is designed to be operated entirely by your business team — no consultant needed after go-live.

Data validation before submission

Before generating the file, SAF-T Go validates your data and clearly shows any issues that need to be resolved. You always know your file is correct before it leaves SAP.

One click. Every month.

Select the reporting period, press Go. That is the entire monthly process for your accounting team. No training course required, no consultant on speed dial.

Excel-friendly preview

Before generating the XML file, review your data in a clear table format — easy to check, easy to export to Excel. Your team stays in control of what gets submitted to the NRA.

Built for high volume

Designed to handle millions of records efficiently. Whether your company has 10,000 or 10 million GL postings per period, SAF-T Go aggregates and processes data without performance issues.

100% inside SAP

No external tools, no middleware, no third-party software. SAF-T Go runs entirely within your existing SAP environment — nothing new to install, nothing new to maintain.

Works on ECC and S/4HANA

Whether you run the older SAP ECC platform or the newer S/4HANA, SAF-T Go works on both. No platform upgrade required to become compliant.

Drill-down navigation

Curious about a number in your SAF-T data? Double-click and trace it all the way back to the original SAP posting. Full transparency — from the XML file down to the source document, without leaving SAP.

Easy to maintain

A new GL account, a new bank account, a new tax code? No tickets, no consultant calls. A few simple mapping tables connect your SAP data to NRA nomenclatures — your team manages them independently.
