As of this beginning of the year, Bulgarian smokers have had to deal with an imposing raise in excise duties on cigarettes. Under a decision that the parliament took at the end of November, a BGN 101 excise duty for 1,000 cigarettes is introduced instead of the previous BGN 41, while the proportional tax is 23% of the sales price instead of 40.5%. The latter will affect mostly expensive cigarette brands. The tax for tobacco for pipes and cigarettes is set at BGN 100 per kg.
