Bulgaria joins the eurozone as of January 1, 2026

The Bulgarian lev will be replaced by the euro at a fixed exchange rate of 1 euro = 1.95583 Bulgarian lev (BGN).

What does this mean for Intrastat and your organization?

• The transition to the euro also has direct implications for Intrastat reporting. From 2026 onward, Intrastat thresholds and invoice values for Bulgaria will be set in euros, rather than in Bulgarian leva. This change requires adjustments across your organization, including:
• Intrastat systems and tax reporting configurations
• Valuation of goods movements
• Internal reporting and control processes
• One key advantage: Intrastat values can be reported directly in euros, improving consistency and alignment with reporting across other eurozone countries.

Being prepared avoids surprises

It sounds like a cliché, but it remains true. If your organization trades goods to or from Bulgaria, now is the right moment to review whether your systems and processes are ready for 2026. Early preparation helps prevent last-minute changes and ensures smooth Intrastat reporting.
