The tax expert said that pálinka cannot be brewed with tax exemption in compliance with EU law

Vámosi-Nagy Szabolcs, the tax consultant of the EY global consultancy do not see a solution taking the tax rules into account, when one can make pálinka with tax exemption in compliance with EU law in Hungary.

Vámosi-Nagy Szabolcs told this to MTI, after the European Court of Justice in its judgment on Thursday told that the tax exemption on homemade pálinka is contrary to the EU law.-

The European Commission has launched an infringement proceeding on the grounds that the EU law in case of pálinka only allows to use a different tax rate, which cannot be less than half of the standard rate. The judges considered that the Committee is right in this matter. ( MTI)
