One of them is the tax exemption for mothers, which allows women to avoid paying personal income tax based on their age and the number of their children. Eligibility conditions have been being broadened, and the trend is expected to continue in coming years.

At a Hungarian business, every money transaction needs to be documented. This is true not only for electronic or wire transactions, but also for cash transactions. If your business manages cash, you will need to have a petty cash log and appropriate documentation even if you do not have a regular cash register. Additionally, petty cash registers are often scrutinized during tax audits, so they must be up to date.
