Hungarian taxation policy changes
Overview
The Hungarian government has announced plans to tighten tax regulations specifically targeting professional athletes. Effective January 1, 2027, the annual income limit for the simplified tax contribution (EKHO) will be reduced from 500 million HUF to 60 million HUF. Finance Minister András Kármán stated the change aims to “eliminate an unjustified exception in the tax system,” bringing athletes in line with other professional groups like journalists or actors.
This policy change has drawn criticism from the Ferencváros sports club, which warned that the new rules could jeopardize international competitiveness and potentially force the club to reduce squad sizes or sell players to manage costs.
