A great opportunity to reward employees is the small-value gift that can be given up to three times a year, which can be a gift voucher, a service, or a specific item, such as a book. However, the employer’s responsibility does not end with requesting a receipt for the purchased product or voucher and submitting it to accounting: information must also be provided to payroll, and the data must be recorded in internal records.
It may seem that the tax authorities increasingly know who is worth auditing as surely as if they have magical or mentalist abilities. The Hungarian National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) selects taxpayers for investigations with an increasingly sure idea of where they might find some kind of error, discrepancy or, Heaven forefend, fraud.
Transfer pricing is a priority area for 2025 tax audits!
Considering the transfer pricing strictures introduced as from 2022 (transfer pricing reporting in the yearly tax return, obligatory median adjustment, increased penalties), the Hungarian companies have to count on far more stricter Hungarian transfer pricing rules, and the possibility of more efficient tax authority actions.

As a key player in the accountancy and taxation market, Dr. Rácz Nóra, partner of LeitnerLeitner, was asked by BBJ to provide her insights on this special field as we enter 2025. The questions addressed were: what has changed; how prepared are businesses; how does Hungary compare; and what should be changed?
The world of international taxation is undergoing significant change with the introduction of the global minimum tax (GloBE) framework. This new system aims to fairly distribute tax rights among countries where these corporations operate, ensuring that they contribute to the tax base of each country.
To ensure the safety and smoothness of lending practices, it was deemed necessary to make information on company pledges more transparent. Therefore, according to the new rules of the Company Act, firms with credits have to register the amount of their pledges.
Employment-related costs, increasing fluctuation and workforce difficulties strengthen the need for Human Resources solutions. How to satisfy employees and whether the salary alone is enough to motivate them in the long term is a lengthy debate. Still, it is very likely, when considering the market situation and the available remuneration, that money counts.
There are no boring years in taxation. 2024 also promises exciting challenges for anyone involved in tax affairs.
2023 was all about fiduciary asset management (family trusts or family foundations) in the lives of Hungarian business-owning families. Because the legislature abolished an old option to reevaluate businesses and enjoy tax benefits, fear of change prompted many to take immediate action. That could leave many legal questions open, which should be looked at now.
