It said Finance Minister Simeon Diankov a press conference at the Council of Ministers, which presented a „fundamental assumptions for Budget 2010, According to Diankov cited by Focus,“ perhaps from a fiscal point of view, the idea is good, but during the change crisis should not have, namely to introduce a duty where there was no „. Therefore, the financial department will raise the existing excise discretion.

But reference to the Law on Excise shows that beer has a duty, not yesterday. Currently the duty is 1.5 EUR per hectolitre, but half of the beer produced by small independent breweries – 0,75 EUR for 1 hectolitre per degree Plato. Indeed, no additional tax on wine. As is known, the Finance Minister insisted on raising the duty on hard alcohol by 15 per cent.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Committee on Economic Policy, Energy and Tourism, Martin Dimitrov „Blue Coalition“ / told reporters he did not support the tax increase that outpaced the arrangements with the European Union.

Changes in tax laws are published on the website of the Ministry of Finance. Draft of duty becomes clear that the only proposed change in the fuel affects the heavy bunker fuel, and the levying of excise duty for farmers.
