Bulgarii se uită cu invidie către România: Reversul medaliei în actuala criză energetică

Bulgarian businesses face a significant challenge due to a product tax on industrial batteries that is 14 times higher than in Romania. The tax rate in Bulgaria is €2.81/kg compared to Romania's €0.20/kg, which undermines competitiveness and raises investment costs in energy storage systems. Despite a record growth in energy storage capacity, the high eco-tax hinders potential development. BASEL calls for urgent regulatory changes, proposing a reduced tax of €0.30/kg for lithium-ion batteries and better enforcement against tax evasion. Recent amendments to the tax regulations overlooked battery issues, leaving businesses without clear guidelines.
