Viktor Orbán: pensioners will receive a special card to claim VAT refunds

The Prime Minister reminded in a video posted on his social media page that the government had previously reduced VAT for quite a few products, but the experience was that most of the amount went to commercial networks and not to those for whom it was intended.

For the VAT refund, pensioners will receive a special card, which must be validated at the time of purchase; according to the government’s plans, seniors will be able to get a refund of 10-15 thousand forints per month – Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced on Facebook on Wednesday.
