Can Hungarian freelancers invoice B2B companies under KATA in 2026?
No. Under Hungary’s post-2022 KATA Act, accepting revenue from any domestic or foreign corporate/B2B client (except licensed taxi services) immediately disqualifies KATA status. B2B contractors use Átalányadó instead.
What changed in Hungary’s Átalányadó flat-rate tax for 2026?
In 2026, Hungary increased the general Átalányadó flat-expense deduction from 40% to 45%, lowered the minimum SZOCHO contribution multiplier from 112.5% to 100% of the minimum/guaranteed wage, raised the domestic VAT-free threshold to 20,000,000 HUF, and doubled family tax/TBJ allowances.
How does simplified local business tax (HIPA) work in Hungary?
Hungarian sole proprietors under Átalányadó can opt into simplified banded HIPA (e.g. 50,000 HUF/yr below 12M HUF revenue, 120,000 HUF/yr for 12M–18M HUF, 170,000 HUF/yr for 18M–25M HUF) instead of filing complex municipal 2% calculations.
