☯️Dual citizenship in Hungary

If your goal is to obtain Hungarian citizenship, you generally do not have to give up the passport of your home country. Hungarian law does not restrict dual or even multiple citizenship. You are not even required to notify the Hungarian authorities that you hold another citizenship.

It is important, however, to check how your own country treats dual citizenship. In some countries, it is theoretically prohibited, such as Japan, China, and Thailand, although in practice, local authorities may not enforce these restrictions.

It’s worth finding out about the rules in advance. Get in touch with us, and we can help you with information about the requirements for obtaining Hungarian citizenship or assist you throughout the process:

🇭🇺 A national holiday and a long weekend are coming up this Friday.

On October 23, 1956, an uprising broke out in Budapest against the communist dictatorship and Soviet occupation. Fierce street fighting continued for two weeks in many parts of the city, including Széna Square and the area around Corvin Cinema, but the Soviet forces ultimately prevailed.
Today, the anniversary of the revolution is one of Hungary’s most important national holidays.

On Friday, shops will be closed, and traffic will also be more difficult in several parts of the city due to public events and large gatherings.

On the bright side, there will be plenty of exciting programs to choose from, including a family festival in City Park (Városliget), while the Hungarian Parliament Building will also be open to visitors free of charge.

The Anchor team will also be taking three days off, so we’ll be back and available to assist you on Monday, October 26. In the meantime, feel free to email us with any questions:

🇭🇺 Hungary is a safe place for foreigners.

In many respects, Hungary ranks among the safest countries in Europe. Incidents of xenophobic violence are relatively rare, and foreigners living here generally do not face conflicts because of their skin colour, clothing, or language.

Under the previous government, anti-immigration rhetoric was common and could be seen not only in the media but also on billboards and street posters. Since the April elections, this narrative has largely disappeared from the public sphere.

Of course, people with extreme views exist here as they do anywhere else, but they do not generally pose a significant threat. This makes Hungary an attractive destination for people from all over the world, whether they are looking to study, work, or invest here.

⚠️ KATA rules will change next year.

KATA is one of the most tax-efficient options for small businesses, and many of our clients use it. The Prime Minister announced important changes today that will make this tax regime even more favorable.

✅ KATA businesses can once again issue invoices to companies. The only restriction is that if annual revenue from companies exceeds HUF 8 million, a 15% tax will be payable on the amount above the threshold.
✅ The amount of tax payable will also change. Full-time KATA taxpayers will generally have to pay HUF 100,000 per month. If they issue invoices exclusively to private individuals, the monthly tax will be only HUF 75,000 for the first year. For those operating under KATA alongside registered employment, the monthly cost will be HUF 50,000.
✅ Part-time entrepreneurs, pensioners, and university students could also qualify for KATA. This would be particularly good news for students working alongside their studies.
✅ The annual revenue threshold could increase from HUF 18 million to HUF 22 million.

The new KATA rules are expected to take effect from 2027. We’ll keep you updated on further developments, so follow us for the latest news.

If you’re considering switching to KATA or need help with tax, accounting, or legal matters, feel free to get in touch with us:.

Do you own a property in Hungary and want to rent it out? 🏘️
Here’s what you need to know!

First and foremost, you should always have a proper lease agreement in place. This is not only a legal requirement – it also protects you if any issues arise with your tenant.

Rental income is subject to 15% personal income tax. However, you can reduce your taxable income by deducting certain expenses related to the property. In other words, if you carry out improvements or renovations, your tax liability for that year may be lower.

If you’re renting out just one or two properties, you can generally do so as a private individual. If you own and rent out more properties, however, it may make more sense to register as a sole trader.

If you’d like to learn more about the legal and tax aspects of renting out property in Hungary, feel free to contact us:

You can taste the whole world in Budapest. 🌍🍴

No matter where you’re from, you’re almost certain to find a restaurant in the Hungarian capital serving the flavours of your home. Budapest has one of the most diverse food scenes in the region, thanks in large part to people who have made the city their home from all over the world.

Alongside the ubiquitous Japanese, Chinese, and Turkish restaurants, you can explore the cuisines of the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. And of course, Hungarian cuisine deserves a place on the list too – from traditional classics to modern interpretations, there’s plenty to discover.

What’s your favourite place to eat in the city?

How much income do you need to obtain or renew a Hungarian residence permit? 💵
If you’re a non-EU national planning to move to Hungary for more than three months, you’ll need to demonstrate that your income or savings are sufficient to cover your living expenses. Importantly, the funds must come from a legal and verifiable source.

Except the guest-self employed residence permit the Hungarian law does not specify an exact minimum amount. However, based on the authorities’ practice, you generally need sufficient monthly income and sufficient savings in your bank account to obtain or renew a residence permit.

From September 1, reporting handwritten receipts to the Hungarian Tax Authority (NAV) is mandatory. 📢

If your business does not use an online cash register and you issue receipts to customers either by hand or using a computer, this change will apply to you as well.

The required data must be submitted to the tax authority within three days, broken down by day. You can use the NAV’s own ePénztárgép application or any other suitable software for this purpose.

There’s no need to rush just yet: the authorities are granting everyone a four-month grace period, meaning no penalties will be imposed for this reason until the end of the year. From January 1, however, businesses may be fined for failing to submit the required data.
