Due to the Fidesz government's tax, Mol is requesting 133 billion forints back from the state

The Hungarian oil company Mol is seeking to reclaim 133 billion HUF in carbon quota taxes from the state, including interest. This follows a new law allowing direct claims to the tax authority, prompting Mol to withdraw its previous lawsuits. The tax, introduced by the Orbán government, imposed a burden on various industries, including oil and chemicals, and has faced legal challenges. The government has since repealed the tax retroactively and allowed companies to reclaim payments without litigation. The Ministry of Finance estimates a total of 289 billion HUF will need to be refunded, impacting future budgets.
