Once again about the service charge
The Guild of Hungarian Restaurateurs (MVI) has updated its information material on tipping and service charges, their handling and tax implications – in line with the current legislation.
This article is available for reading in Trade magazin 2025/4.
The summary includes a definition of tipping and service charges, the general rules on tipping, its forms and handling, and the gist of the rules on service charges. From 1 January the maximum service charge applied by a catering business can be 15% of the price of the products consumed, including the VAT. The service charge may be indicated on the menu in two ways: already included in the consumer prices or added to the final amount. Whichever form is used, the service charge must be listed separately on the invoice or receipt given to the consumer. //
