Why is old-age pension relevant to foreigners working in Hungary?

Beccause the official minimum of old-age pension is the calculation basis for various social benefits.

Starting from January 1, 2027, the old-age pension minimum in Hungary is increased from HUF 28,500 to HUF 120,000 monthly. This is a significant change not only for pensioners, but also for people receiving specific benefits.

Watch this space for our article about the details once more information becomes available.

Your company is a separate legal entity. Its money is not your money – and every withdrawal needs to be justified and documented.

Here are the legal ways to receive money from your Hungarian business:
💼 Salary – fixed monthly amount, comes with payroll taxes
📈 Dividends – typically taken after year-end closing
🧾 Expense reimbursements – only for business-related costs, with proper invoices
🤝 Shareholder loan – must be repaid, with interest

And if you withdraw cash directly from the company account? You can – but it's still the company's money. Use it only for business purposes, keep every invoice, and document everything. The Hungarian Tax Authority can audit you years later and treat undocumented withdrawals as personal income – triggering income tax, social security contributions, and late payment fees.

The rules are strict. The paperwork matters.

- 5 years: standard retention period
- 8 years: invoices, receipts, general ledger accounts
- 10 years: annual reports and balance sheets
- Even longer: employment and payroll related documents

Income generated in Hungary is typically taxed in Hungary – unless you are a tax resident elsewhere, in which case you should consult a tax advisor to make sure you are compliant with tax regulations in both countries.

Hungarian personal income tax is 15%, and it is levied on most kinds of income, including:

- Salaries
- Dividend from your Hungarian company
- Net revenues of your freelancing business
- Rental income from real estate
- Income for selling real estate
- Interest on your Hungarian investments or savings

While in Hungary there are no income brackets, personal income tax can be reduced by various tax benefits, available based on age, marital status, and other factors.

In Hungary, social security covers free healthcare, pensions, and various allowances, such as sick leave, maternity leave, or unemployment. These essential services are paid for by social security contribution, a 18.5% tax on income from work.

Employers deduct this tax from the gross salaries of employees alongside personal income tax and forward them to the authorities, so employees always only get their net salaries. Those not working in regular employment pay this tax themselves.

For your Hungarian business, having a corporate Revolut account can offer various benefits, such as better exchange rates when receiving payments from international clients.

Revolut has recently opened its Hungarian branch office and started migrating users to Hungarian bank accounts, which enables even more features. Additionally, if your employees have Revolut accounts, now you can transfer their salaries directly there.

Mind you, your Hungarian company still must have a corporate bank account at a Hungarian bank.

Do you know where you are supposed to pay taxes?

If you travel a lot or have several homes around the world, the answer might not be that simple, even if most income is taxed where it is generated. Depending on your nationality and the types of income, several governments might be eligible to tax the same income.

Luckily enough, most governments agree that that would be unfair, so they enter into double taxation agreements to protect their subjects.

How does that work? Read the latest article in our blog.
