Hungary upstream fiscal summary

Report summary

Hungary’s concession-based fiscal regime is relatively simple. The main elements include a royalty (extra profit tax), corporate income tax, and an additional profits tax (Energy Suppliers tax). Royalty is a biddable term but the government has set a minimum rate. The extra profit tax is levied via increased royalty rates for 2022 and 2023. Standard royalty rates apply from 2024. The energy suppliers tax has the same tax base as corporate income tax resulting in a marginal tax rate of 40%. Both are ring-fenced at the country level. There are also local business and indirect taxes. There is no state participation.
