Taxing consumption
In a European comparison, taxes on consumption in Hungary are relatively high, while taxes on capital are relatively low. This trend even deteriorated further for both indicators between 2008 and 2011. The high tax burden on consumption is striking even in a regional context, and continues to grow. The top-tier VAT rate is the highest in Hungary (27%).
