- Bulgaria’s National Assembly is considering a draft bill to set VAT at 0% on essential food and beverage products.
- The measure would cover items in the official “small consumer basket,” including bread, milk, dairy, meat, and poultry.
- It is intended to help households cope with inflation and rising food prices.
- The proposal comes as Bulgaria prepares to adopt the euro on 1 January 2027, increasing attention on consumer costs.
- The bill follows similar VAT reductions in other countries amid food price pressures linked to the Gulf conflict and supply chain disruptions.
