About half of the revenues in the state treasury come from the activities of Sofia enterprises, and 35% of them are from large taxpayers. This was announced by the caretaker Minister of Finance Assen Vassilev during the first public council on budget policy. 
The minister cut budget revenues and expenditures, focusing on the regional distribution of business. 
According to him, the revenues from concessions are only BGN 145 million. That is why we are already working together with the Ministry of Energy to change the ordinance on concession fees, as these revenues seem extremely underestimated, Vassilev commented.
