Street coffee vending machines to be also connected to the NRA

Self-service vending machines will be connected to the information system of the National Revenue Agency (NRA) in order to report their turnover in real time, stipulates a draft ordinance, published on the website of the Finance Ministry. In this way, tax authorities will be able to control the vending machines for drinks, food, currency exchange, payment of household bills and parking services. The ordinance includes also vending machines for entertainment such as those for children. The machines will not issue paper receipts. Their daily financial reports will be generated automatically and stored in the fiscal memory. This will eliminate the necessity of printing daily, monthly and annual financial statements. The owners of vending machines will have to connect them to the NRA information system by December 31, 2012. Within three days upon the entry of this ordinance in force, mobile operators should submit a request for obtaining a nomenclature code.

In January 2012, the Bulgarian Vending Association admitted publicly that their turnover is reported approximately. “After counting the coins, we enter the turnover in the cash registers in the offices and this is how we report our turnover,” Ivan Popov from the Association said then, provoked by publications that the NRA was considering obliging the owners of vending machines to instal cash registers. According to data of the Bulgarian Vending Association, there are around 15,000 vending machines in Bulgaria, serviced by some 750 people. The monthly turnover from one machine is about BGN 200-300, but can reach BGN 800-1,000, if located at a busy location.
