As we stated in our previous news, At the end of July and beginning of August, the Bulgarian Parliament approved the regulations for replacing the lev with the euro, even though Bulgaria has not yet met the criteria for joining the Eurozone. But still, there are no official publications of the Law of the Euro, no dates when the Euro will be only a legal tender, how long will last the double currency period, etc.
What regulations are still expected to be published after the Law of Introduction Euro is accepted by the Bulgarian Parliament, important for retail and fiscalization?

- the conditions and manner of registering and accounting for sales and/or canceling the operations of goods and services by issuing a fiscal receipt or another document registering the payment in euros;
- the conditions and manner of announcing the final amount in the issued fiscal receipt in levs and in euros during the period of double indication of the prices of goods and services
- the functional and technical requirements for fiscal devices and integrated automated systems for managing commercial activity in connection with the introduction of the euro;
- the submission of data to the National Revenue Agency;
- all other changes arising out of and in connection with the performance introduced by the new law
