Finance Minister Mr. Varga announced new government decisions related to the Covid-19 emergency.

  • Together with the financial statements, the deadline to pay the yearly corporate income tax is also postponed to 30 September. Note: it is important that companies can claim to reduce the CIT advance payments during the year if they see that this year’s results will be lower than last year.
  • Companies hit by the crisis can claim a tax reduction or 6 to 12-month installment payment without any surcharge for up to HUF 5 million.
  • KIVA tax for SMEs drop from 12 to 11 percent from January 2021.
  • The most poplular fringe benefit, SZÉP card will be cheaper for employers: The benefits paid to SZÉP cards are free of social contribution tax until end of June dropping its tax burden from 32.5% to 15%.
  • The yearly limit paid to SZÉP cards is increased from HUF 450,000 to HUF 800,000. This is important to promote domestic tourism after the emergency.
