US terminates double taxation avoidance agreement with Hungary!

The United States has terminated its double taxation avoidance agreement with Hungary signed 43 years ago, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó said on Facebook on Saturday.

The reason for the step is clear: Hungary is opposed to the introduction of the global minimum corporate tax rate and the resulting tax increases, Szijjarto said.

The European economy needs to operate in a long-term wartime inflation environment, he said. If the tax burden of producing companies is increased further amid these circumstances, the effect will be “dramatic”, he added.

Europe’s competitiveness is “in ruins” because of runaway energy prices, and the introduction of a global minimum corporate tax rate would be the “coup de grace”, he warned.

He said Hungarians have worked hard to make the country’s taxes the lowest in Europe, adding that introducing the global minimum corporate tax rate would “practically double” the tax burden of Hungarian producers, putting “tens of thousands” of local workplaces at risk.

“We will continue professional consultations on tax matters with our Republican friends,”

he added.

    “He( Szijjarto) said Hungarians have worked hard to make the country’s taxes the lowest in Europe”.
    This statement is not entirely true. At 15%, Hungary does have the lowest -Top Personal Income Tax Rate- in the EU. The wealthy face the least tax burden. However, Hungary has the highest VAT rate in the EU, at 27% . This is a burden that hits the lowest wage earners the hardest, for they end up spending a much larger portion of their income on this tax. It is no surprise the leaders of Hungary want to keep their taxes low and make up the difference from the average consumer.

    When the EU stops giving money to Hungary, she will sink, economically. We can already see this with the performance of the forint.

    Instead of reading what rubbish Péter Pipsqueak (aka Pinniochio) pumps out, try reading what happens in the real world: The 15% is a moveable feast if a country has an intelligent government…..
