From 2015 the fruit farmers can cook homemade pálinkas

Those private distillers who aquired their equipments earlier must report it until 15 January. From 2015 only the fruit growers can cook homemade pálinka by paying a symbolic 1000 HUF tax per year.

The rules of private pálinka cooking have changed significantly this year – the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) drew attention. From 1 January, the previously acquired distilling equipments must be reported no later than 15 January at the local government, while the private distillers must report the newly aquired equipments within 15 days.
