The new budget gives as much in tax benefits as it takes away in special taxes.
The draft budget for 2027 anticipates a loss of approximately 2.5 trillion HUF in tax and contribution revenues due to various benefits. The Ministry of Finance has provided both lower and upper estimates: 2347.9 billion HUF and 2593.3 billion HUF, respectively. This significant amount is comparable to the budget deficit target of 5.1 trillion HUF, indicating that the government is allowing a loss of tax and contribution revenues equivalent to half of the deficit. The projected loss closely aligns with the figures from the original 2026 budget, which estimated a revenue loss between 2314 billion HUF and 2589 billion HUF.
