MLE: the advertising tax causes competitive disadvantage for the domestic media businesses

At the National Economic Committee’s meeting, Lázár János Minister spoke about the European Commission’s infringement proceedings against Hungary, due to the advertising tax law, and about the expected outcome.

The Hungarian Newspaper Publishers' Association (MLE) is open for consultation, because they consider that the introduction of the advertising tax is harmful to economic growth. The income from of the tax can be a tool of daily political games easily, making the position of the industry that is already facing structural problems more difficult.
