Bulgaria to Raise Restaurant VAT to 20% Starting January 1, Amid Industry Concerns
Starting January 1, the VAT rate for restaurant services in Bulgaria will return to 20%, marking the end of the temporary 9% rate introduced during the Covid crisis. The reduced VAT was extended several times but will no longer apply, also affecting the zero VAT rate on bread and flour, which will revert to 20%.
