Fiscal subject related
Let us remind you, certain meetings and adoptions of certain acts are confirmed in June 2021. They state that the target date for Bulgaria’s accession to the eurozone is January 1st, 2024. The introduction of the euro is planned without a transition period, and the date of adoption of the euro will coincide with its introduction as an official payment unit. The conversion will be carried out by applying the irrevocably fixed exchange rate between the euro and the leva. And after the introduction of the euro within a month, the lev and the euro will be legal tender at the same time. Bulgaria intends to accept the euro as its official currency from January 1, 2024, without a transition period—all commercial establishments in the country will be obliged to accept the euro from the first moment of its adoption. At the present time, it remains unclear how that will affect the rules, especially fiscal receipt.
