Textiles are the hit products of illegal trade

Despite the highest rate of VAT in the EU, according to the experiences to the tax authority, the market of cigarettes and fuel are getting cleared, but hackery increased with the illegally sold textile products from the Far East.

Despite the fact that in recent years the excise tax has been steadily increasing and VAT is high (now 27 percent) a decline occurred in black cigarette and fuel trade. On the basis of the experiences of the tax authority, the businesses who are importing garments from the Far East, and do not pay taxes are the real “big fishes”. (Batka Zoltán, Népszabadság Online)
