In June 2020, the Bulgarian Parliament adopted a proposal to reduce VAT on several goods and services, including print books, from the standard 20% rate to a reduced rate of 9%. The measure is temporary and is part of the government’s recovery plan from the COVID-19 crisis. This is the first time Bulgaria applies a reduced VAT on books.
