Taxation in General: Hungarian Tax System


Principle of exemption

Based on exemption, there is no tax on income in the country where the person in question has his/her tax residence: according to the provisions of the bilateral treaty, his/her income is taxed in the other state (i.e., at source). In practical terms: if someone is working in the one, but has tax residence in the other state, then the state of such person’s tax residence waives the right of taxation in favour of the other state.
Exemption, as a general principle, can take two practical forms: it can be either
  • full exemption: in this case the income realized in the other state is not taken into account at all in the state of tax residence of the person concerned, neither in the tax returns, nor in calculating the tax payable thereby, or at the time of tax payment, or
  • partial exemption: tax for the entire income is calculated in the country of the taxpayer’s tax residence, but deduction can be made for the amounts paid as tax in the other state.

Taxation is a scheme for the state to provide revenue. The so collected money could then cover the public spending of the government. These are the so-called allocative and redistributive functions of the state budget. Although, taxation theory discusses the various tax types and analyses the various taxation tools very extensively, there is no absolute answer to the question, when and what type of taxation system would be optimal. Thus this introductory book on taxation deals with the three basic types of taxes - the income tax, the VAT and the corporation tax - in a very pragmatic way. There are legal texts and cases from both the international and also from the relevant Hungarian practice.

This book is recommended not only for students of economics but also for law students and practitioners beside anyone who is interested in the basic regulations of taxation.
