Calafat mayor proposes to restore 2025 auto tax to curb vehicle registrations in Bulgaria, amid local complaints that current rates have nearly doubled. Residents cite monthly taxes rising from 320 to 680 lei, citing financial strain. The proposal will be debated in the city council at month‑end. The mayor says the measure will reduce the number of people avoiding local taxes and prevent cross‑border registrations, a problem that has appeared before. Residents remain skeptical, arguing that the tax hike leaves them with little income to cover basic costs.
