Hungary does not support the taxation of home- made pálinka cooking

The Hungarian government still does not support the taxation of home-made pálinka cooking, and therefore seeks to achieve at the EU to allow the tax exemption of pálinka cooking for own purposes – Varga Mihály, Minister of Finance said at a meeting of EU finance ministers on Tuesday.

Varga Mihály emphasized that some Member States oppose the tax exemption of home-made pálinka for home consumption, while others – with certain restrictions – considered it acceptable – while several Member States, including Hungary, strongly demand it. (MTI)
