Tax and accounting changes adopted in Autumn 2025 – Hungary

SME INFO Nr.2025-6 Hungary  – The two main objectives of the autumn tax packages are to reduce the tax burden on businesses and to reduce the administrative burden, e.g. new corporate tax allowances will be introduced, the average tax burden on retail taxpayers will decrease, and the eligibility limits for KIVA will be expanded. At the same time, it appears that from next July, affected parties will have to pay the advertising tax again. The tax allowances for mothers were already addressed in the summer tax package. Since some of these changes will take effect from January, we are mentioning them again in this newsletter. More details on changes affecting individuals can be found in our payroll newsletter (SME INFO 2025-5). As in previous years, our aim is not to provide a comprehensive overview of the changes, but to highlight the topics we consider important
