Oppostion DK proposes tax-exempt utility support for employees
The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has proposed allowing employers to provide employees with a utility bill benefit that would be exempt from taxes and contributions.
The benefit that would be made available to full-time employees would be maximised at a monthly 50,000 forints (EUR 121), DK lawmaker Ferenc Dávid told an online press conference.
Under the proposal, companies that require their employees to work from home would be mandated to provide the benefit in proportion to the duration of work shifts, Dávid, DK’s shadow economy minister, said.
The scheme would have to remain in place until March 31 next year, he said.
