Bulgarian Gambling Tax Changes Delayed
Key Takeaways
  • Bulgarian members of Parliament have elected to postpone a vote on proposals to reduce gaming taxes.
  • The current laws mandate a tax on turnover—the new proposals would replace that with a tax on gross gaming revenue in line with international norms.
  • The changes are motivated by a desire to attract foreign gaming operators to seek a license to operate in Bulgaria.
  • A vote is now not likely before the next parliamentary session in the new year.
