Next year the price of pálinka may jump

The prices of pálinkas and bitter liqueurs can be two thousand forints, ie 30-40 percent higher per liter on the shelves of the Hungarian stores by next January – agrarszektor.hu wrote.

The reason for the drastic price increase expected is that public health product tax (NETA) has been imposed on these two product categories. It would have been a solution to reduce the pálinka tax to five percent, but the relevant ministries rejected the professional proposal. (agrarszektor.hu)
