In this article we will show 5 ways your Hungarian company can reduce payroll taxes. Previously we have already written about the payroll taxes and the components of salary in Hungary. A Hungarian company has to pay the following two taxes on top of the gross salary (contracted salary):
The 27% social contribution tax is a major payroll cost for companies. However, in some special cases it can be reduced to 12,5%, or sometimes even to 0% (up to a certain point), as the authorities may grant a significant payroll tax relief for certain groups. Before you recruit staff we recommend you consider the following options.
The company pays only 12,5% social contribution tax on the gross salary up to HUF 100,000 until the employees turn 25 or after they have turned 55.
The company has 0% social contribution tax liability on the gross salary up to HUF 100,000 in the first two years of the employment. The tax authority has to verify that the career entrant has less than 180 days of employment.
The company pays 0% social contribution tax on their gross salary up to HUF 222,000 as long as the employee has a valid rehabilitation card.
The company has 0% social contribution tax liability on the gross salary up to HUF 100,000 in the first two years and 12,5% liability in the third year. Depending on the number of children the tax deduction can be more.
The company has 0% social contribution tax liability on the gross salary up to HUF 100,000 minimum in the first two years and 12,5% liability in the third year if the National Labor Office verifies the job candidate as permanent jobseeker.
Authorities let companies reduce payroll taxes if they employ workforce who have difficulties entering the labor market. Members of the above groups may prove as eager, skilled, and earnest employees as anyone else, while employing them grants you significant payroll tax relief.
We hope the above list will help you in recruitment and more conscious business planning. Please contact our accountancy department on finance@helpers.hu if you would like to know more details or would be interested in further tax deduction options.
