Finance minister criticized for handling of SUPTO regulation

ByEnigma 808

The Yes, Bulgaria’s political party has accused Finance Minister Temenuzhka Petkova of misleading the public and demonstrating fundamental ignorance about software regulations for retail businesses. Party representatives criticized the minister for incorrectly identifying SUPTO as a revenue management system rather than its actual designation as software for managing sales in retail outlets.

The political group outlined multiple concerns with the Finance Ministry’s regulatory approach. They emphasized that no proposals exist for government-developed software and noted that current voluntary requirements are incompatible with most existing programs due to poorly conceived standards. The ministry’s framework would establish a licensing system requiring National Revenue Agency approval for each software update before commercial deployment.

Yes, Bulgaria warned that compliance costs will ultimately burden tens of thousands of Bulgarian businesses as software developers pass expenses to clients. The party expressed doubt about meeting implementation timelines and predicted widespread business disruptions from what they characterized as absurd regulatory provisions that could partially halt merchant operations.
