The National Assembly Committee on Budget and Finance adopted on first reading the proposal for introduction of 9% VAT on restaurants and books, including electronic books.
The Bulgarian Ministry of Finance has warned that if value added tax for restaurants and books is reduced from 20% to 9%, the VAT for other goods and services has to be increased to 24%, or the income tax of the companies should stand at 17%-18%. The draft amendments to the VAT Act are submitted by the ruling coalition and other parties.
If all proposals for reduction of VAT rates for certain goods and services are approved, the damage to the state treasury will amount to nearly EUR 920 million, the position signed by Finance Minister Vladislav Goranov reads.
