Other indirect taxes

Hungary’s EU accession has brought significant changes to external trade. A number of new rules and regulations have entered into force in Hungary concerning intra-Community and external trade. These changes have made it possible to cut costs in international trade, but have also given rise to certain indirect tax risks relating to non-compliance with the applicable regulations.
