By bne IntelliNews November 15, 2011
Contrary to previous proposals for scrapping the simplified business tax, Hungarys government will keep the levy and raise it to 40% from 30% as of next year, portfolio.hu reported. Under the current tax legislation, companies with annual gross revenue below HUF 25mn can pay a tax of 30% on their revenues, instead of the regular corporate profit tax. The new changes will increase the rate to 35-40%, with companies with an annual revenue of up to HUF 30mn being eligible for the tax.
