Tax Cuts On Payroll 2022

Another significant tax cut took effect in Hungary from January 2022.

Employers’ wage costs continue to fall.

  • The rate of social contribution tax is 13% instead of 15.5%.
  • The 1.5% vocational training contribution paid by domestic companies has been abolished.
  • Those who pay the Small Business Tax (KIVA) instead of the above have reduced their burden from 11% to 10%.

The burden of wages has fallen dramatically in recent years, leaving room for improved employment and rising wages.
