Magazine: Problems indicated on a crisis map
The Hungarian Tourism Association (MTSZ) has recently contacted the Guild of Hungarian Restaurateurs (MVI), asking for their – and other trade organisations’ – help in compiling a problem map. They asked MVI to name maximum two important problems that need to be solved as soon as possible.
From MVI’s side it was Károly Zerényi who chose the two most urgent issues.
The first one is simplifying the VAT regulations in the catering sector. On 1 January 2018 the sector’s VAT rate reduced to 5 percent for food and alcohol-free drinks made on-site; this means that the preferential rate doesn’t extend to all catering services, which causes a salary gap if various fields of catering are compared. Plus there are also other problems in the sector caused by the different VAT rates.
The second problematic area that Mr Zerényi named is cutting the tax on representation expenses. Currently there is a 79-forint tax and contributions on every net 100 forint spent on representation. MVI would like to abolish the 19.5-percent social contribution below the sum of HUF 30 million in representation expenses. //
