Overall Score
2022
Bulgaria scores higher than the average score of countries in its income group and the global average, but further improvements are needed to reach the regional average and top performing countries.
Component Score
2022
Bulgaria scores well in tax share but scores poorly in cigarette price and affordability change, and in the mid-range in tax structure. It would greatly benefit from higher cigarette prices, reducing the cigarette affordability, and improving the tax structure.
Scores Over Time
Bulgaria's overall score remained relatively unchanged between 2014 and 2022. There was a slight decline in 2022 due to a reduction in the tax structure score.
