Taxation Package — Spring And Summer 2021 — Hungary

Tax Package – Spring-Summer 2021 – in Hungary – SME INFO 2021-07

The tax package submitted in the spring of 2021 and adopted in June brought mostly minor changes and clarifications. Reviewing the changes in taxation we draw the attention to the reduction in the burden on employer taxes, such as the reduction in Social Contribution Tax and, in parallel, the withdrawal of the vocational training contribution, besides that the implementation of cryptocurrencies’ taxation rules is also an interesting amendment. Several of the changes will take effect already in 2021, some of them are implemented from January 2022 but an early adoption is possible in 2021, and there are changes that will only be introduced in July 2022 or even in 2024. In addition, there have been some other changes during the summer that are also worth noting in this newsletter, which is available both in English and Hungarian.
