Just what we needed: Beloved iconic Hungarian dessert to become cheaper
The Ministry of Finance has submitted the 2024 tax package to Parliament on Tuesday night. The package includes an interesting surprise. The government will reduce VAT on some cheese products, including te iconic Hungarian dessert Túró Rudi (cottage cheese bar with chocolate on the outside).
Before the 1 November holiday, on Tuesday night, the Ministry of Finance published the 2024 tax package on the Parliament’s website. In it, Portfolio has spotted an interesting detail:
the government cuts VAT on Túró Rudi from 27% to 18%.
The Ministry of Finance is amending the annex to the VAT Act, which lists the products that are taxed at a reduced rate of 18% VAT. This would reduce the VAT rate on this iconic dessert from 27% to 18% from 1 January 2024.
Thus, the current price of a standard (30g) most popular Pöttyös Túró Rudi, typically HUF 240-260 (EUR 0.63-0.68), would be somewhere between HUF 223-242 (EUR 0.58-0.63). We would thus see a 7% price reduction.

It is not cottage cheese. It is not tart. It is more creamy & dense like the cheese used in lasagna it not?
How cares? That is not real food, people !
Why isn’t anyone protecting in the streets about the economic state of this country and where the government is taking you ?
