In the last three months of last year, 21 administrative violation acts related to the Euro Law were drawn up in the regions of Burgas, Yambol, and Sliven. Based on these acts, 19 penalty decrees were issued, totaling 95,000 leva. Each of the decrees is for 5,000 leva, which represents the minimum sanction for a first violation. This was announced to journalists by the chief expert in the “Communications” Directorate at the National Revenue Agency in Burgas, Hristo Uzunov.
According to him, repeat inspections will be carried out where violations are found. The process of introducing the euro is proceeding without upheaval in all three regions, he said. Joint inspections by the National Revenue Agency and the Commission for Consumer Protection for compliance with the Euro Law continued today in Burgas, a BTA reporter saw. The inspectors started the day with an inspection of a fitness center.
“We haven't increased prices recently. The last increase we made was two years ago. Customers pay mixed – payment in euros is preferred more often,” said Petya Apostolova, manager of the establishment. During the inspection, it was found that the fitness center has all the required documents for working with a fiscal device. The device is legitimate, confirmed the inspectors from the NRA, who requested data from the device covering a period of at least two days before December 31, 2025.
According to the revenue department, only yesterday in Burgas, Yambol, and Sliven, 52 inspections were carried out. The inspectors are requesting information from traders on the movement of prices before December 31, 2025, and after January 1, 2026. The aim is to determine whether there has been an unreasonable increase in prices after the introduction of the single European currency.
Since the beginning of 2026, one act for an administrative violation has been issued in Burgas for incorrect conversion from leva to euros.
