Changes to the corporation tax rate in 2017
From the 1st of January 2017, Hungary has lowered its corporation tax rate to 9%, making it the lowest business tax in Europe. During the previous system until the end of 2016, the government taxed companies at a rate of 10% on profits up to HUF 500 M (EUR 1.7 M) and 19% on profits above that threshold. Now a single band has been introduced applying equally to all businesses with a flat rate of 9%.
The new corporation tax rate has a great impact on the finances of small businesses, but has brought an even larger tax reduction for large corporations, as seen in the chart below:
