This year will be the last in which Bulgarians receive their income in leva. In what currency will people declare their money to the tax authorities next year? This is one of the 221 questions about the euro that the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) answers on its website.
In tax-related acts and documents issued after the date of the euro’s introduction, but referring to periods prior to its adoption, monetary values will be stated in leva. Amounts to be paid or refunded, however, will be stated in euros, said BNB. Those submitting amended tax declarations or other documents must indicate the currency that was official at the end of the period to which the document refers.
