The state can win 20 billion, while the chains can lose 40

The state can achieve at least twenty billion HUF tax revenue, if the large supermarket chains would be required to employ vendors to every seventy square meters, regardless of whether they need it – Népszabadság Online wrote.

Vámos György, Secretary-General of the National Retail Federation (OKSZ) estimates that as the result of the government plan, the large employers need to hire about 25 thousand people. Calculated at minimum wage – which is 105 thousand HUF currently – it will be a 40-45 billion HUF additional cost to the stores on industry level, which will be be paid by the customers.
