to make it possible for bars, restaurants and catering businesses to take back and manage non-glass beverage containers without the use of reverse vending machines.

Amendment of the notification requirement for temporary agency work: during events in peak periods, it is not practicable for the lender to send all the necessary information in good time and then for the borrower to register the workers concerned with the authorities once again.

Amendment and simplification of VAT rules for the catering sector: just like in many EU countries, the reduced VAT rate should apply to the supply of food and all non-alcoholic beverages – alcoholic drinks are an exception – in all catering segments, and that on-site consumption and takeaway sales should also be subject to the reduced rate.

A big change would be to exempt the representation costs of companies up to a net annual amount of HUF 30m from the 13% social contribution tax. //
