The Bulgarian Government has confirmed that it intends to introduce a higher rate of tax for the wealthy during 2015. A new 15% rate would apply to those earning more than BGN2,700 (USD1,900) per month instead of the flat 10%. Other measures included removal of the flat tax for those on the lowest incomes and the ability for people who earn the minimum wage during 2014 to be able to claim income tax relief via a simplified tax return form.
