osztalékadózási

Oszalékadózási refers to the taxation of dividends in Hungary. Dividends are distributions of a company's profits to its shareholders. The taxation of these dividends has evolved over the years, with the current system aiming to simplify and harmonize it with other forms of income.

Currently, dividends received by individuals from Hungarian companies are subject to a flat tax rate. This tax is generally withheld at source by the paying company, meaning the shareholder receives the net amount after tax. The tax rate applies to the gross dividend amount. For dividends received from foreign companies, the situation can be more complex, often depending on tax treaties between Hungary and the source country, and whether a double taxation agreement is in place.
