önfoglalkoztatók
Önfoglalkoztató refers to self-employed individuals or sole proprietors in Hungary. This legal and economic status allows individuals to operate a business or practice a profession independently, without being employed by another entity. An önfoglalkoztató is responsible for managing all aspects of their business, including operations, finances, and legal compliance. They typically register their business activity with the relevant authorities and are responsible for paying their own taxes and social security contributions. This can include various types of work, from freelance services like writing, design, and consulting, to tradespeople like electricians and plumbers, and small business owners operating retail shops or service providers. The legal framework surrounding önfoglalkoztatók dictates their rights and obligations, including tax reporting requirements, potential for deductions, and access to social benefits. The decision to become an önfoglalkoztató often stems from a desire for autonomy, flexibility, and the potential to earn directly from one's skills and efforts. However, it also entails taking on the full responsibility and risk associated with running a business.
