The elections have passed, in which almost everyone promised, that they will not touch the taxes, and today two commissions in the capital municipal council will look at a report on ..... increasing taxes. In the case of raising the tourist tax between 2.5 (per night for a bed and 10 times (annually for airbnb) type). I do not accept the arguments that this tax is not paid by the people of Sofia, and the guests of the capital, because if that is the case, let's also raise 9 % VAT for the hotels (I do not offer it).
This commented on "Facebook" Vladislav Panev.
I even less accept the argument that this will bring in several million for tourism advertising in Sofia. At most, appoint a few people in the administration to come up with videos. The result will not be brilliant. Tourism in Sofia depends mostly on how many low-cost flights there are to the airport, and it may be the job of the municipality to try to increase the stay of guests. The opening of Vitosha and the mineral springs is an obvious solution. But I doubt that this will happen through taxes.
Otherwise, excellent arguments can be found for any tax increase. It's an inclined plane and they can boil us like frogs. We will monitor who voted and how both today in the committees and on Thursday at the council meeting.
