The website “My Taxes” (kolkodavam.bg) is maintained by the Institute for Market Economics (IME) and was created with the support of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation (FNF).
For over a decade the IME has been publishing an annual alternative state budget that is based on low taxes, sustainable public finances, public sector reforms, economic growth and more freedom of choice. One part of IME’s alternative budget is the so called “tax receipt”, which presents Bulgarian taxpayers with a calculation of the public expenditures made on their behalf by the government. Precisely this receipt is at the core of the “My Taxes” website.
