The Hungarian Tax Authority prepares a draft tax return for taxpayers each year. While this is helpful, it is important to review it carefully, as it may not always be complete or accurate.
🔍 What should you check?
Missing income:Some income (e.g. foreign income or rental income) may not be included automatically.
Missing tax benefits:Family tax benefits, personal allowances or other refunds may not be correctly applied.
Multiple income sources:If you have income from multiple sources, calculations may not be accurate.
