Advantages for corporations

  • Lowest Corporate Tax Rate in the EU: At just 9%, Hungary offers the most competitive tax rate in the entire European Union.
  • Low Local Business Tax: The local business tax in Hungary is capped at a maximum of 2%. Furthermore, there are numerous "tax-free zones" where the local business tax is 0%.
  • Competitive Labor Costs: Despite rising wages, labor remains comparatively affordable in Hungary.
  • Low Non-Wage Labor Costs: Social security contributions for employers are highly attractive at approximately 13% (Social Contribution Tax), including a minor vocational training levy. This significantly eases the budget for team building.
  • Attractive Withholding Tax Regulations: As a general rule, Hungary levies no withholding tax on outgoing dividends, interest, or royalties paid to foreign corporations. This makes the country ideal for holding structures.
  • Generous R&D Incentives: Investments in Research & Development are highly tax-privileged. Companies can often significantly reduce their tax base by investing in innovation.
  • Strategic Location & EU Access: Beyond cost and tax benefits, you benefit from full access to the EU Single Market and first-class infrastructure in the heart of Europe.

Hungary is much more than just a low-cost location – it is a strategic tax and cost lever for growth-oriented companies.
