Socio-economic changes in 2022 have broken the long-standing downward trend, and the number of tax genders has increased from 51 to 59 last year. The Jalsovszky Law Office presents the novelties.

Since 2016, the number of types of taxes in Hungary has continuously decreased: from 60 at that time to 51 by the end of 2021, the number of different deductions has been reduced. Unfortunately, this trend did not continue in 2022, in fact, we saw the exact opposite: the number of tax types increased again to nearly sixty. In addition, the number 59 is the result of a conservative and restrained calculation – as shown below. Of course, this is not surprising if we look at all of this in the light of wider social and economic developments: the budget deficit has increased, inflation is high and we are also in a very specific energy market situation, which was characterized by the lack of various energy carriers and, in parallel, by certain energy companies the truly extra-large profit.

And extraordinary situations apparently required extraordinary measures.
