The Bulgarian MPs have opened debates on a package of tax laws – on excise duty and tax warehouses, the Tax and Social Security Procedure Code, VAT, corporate income tax, personal income, local taxes and charges.

The amendments have to be adopted before the national budget for 2024 is submitted to parliament. The proposed changes include a tax on tips, the controversial “bonus”, according to which anyone reporting tax evasion will receive a 10% bonus, a rise in local taxes and VAT for restaurants and hotels.
