Tax-free payment of nursery and crèche costs by employers

Many parents going back to work wonder how much their earned income will be relative to the costs of their child’s day care. From the other angle, having an employee with appropriate skills, experience and competence return to work as soon as possible can even be worth the added burden in terms of the long-term success of a company. The expansion of the scope of tax-exempt benefits available provides a more cost-effective solution for employers, an expansion that WTS Hungary partly considers to be its own success since we voiced our views on the issue at every possible decision-making forum.

Newsflash ­­– Significant tax benefits – tax allocation

As we move closer to the end of the year, many of us are no doubt feverishly preparing for Christmas, but we shouldn’t forget about 20 December, which is an important deadline for taxation. Certain taxpayers who prepare their annual tax return for financial years that match the calendar year have to top up their corporate tax and local business tax advances, both declaring and paying the required amounts. In this context we would like to point out that companies can gain significant tax benefits by supporting particular organisations when topping up their corporate tax advances.

Tax Bridge III/2016 has now been published – Focus on tax changes in 2017

More than 400 pages, nearly 600 paragraphs. These numbers illustrate the tax amendment packages presented in the spring and autumn. We need to present the two amendment packages at the expense of our normal columns since the whole publication revolves around our “We’ve checked it out” column, which means it covers the most important changes, mainly for companies, from 2017 onwards. Our updates and news in the previous few weeks regarding the details of the tax changes can all be found summarised now in this latest issue of Tax Bridge

Newsflash ­­– Tax changes 2017 – Act on the Rules of Taxation

On 22 November 2016 the Hungarian Parliament approved the autumn tax package we dealt with in our previous newsletter. The tax changes for 2017 are probably still ongoing, the public dues paid by employers are planned to be reduced by 5% next year and a single, flat-rate 9% corporate tax will also be introduced. Until these important amendments are included in the law, we would like to try to give you a brief outline of the tax changes already approved for next year that could be of interest for most companies. First we introduce the accepted changes in the Act on the Rules of Taxation.
