Since 2019, Hungary has been implementing a series of reforms to simplify its tax system and support its businesses.

The minimum wage has skyrocketed, rising by more than 50% over the last three years. To mitigate the impact on businesses, the social security contribution, which includes employer contributions, has been reduced to 13%.

With regard to road freight transport, the eco-driving bonus will be abolished in 2023 and replaced by a significant increase in travel allowances, with a minimum of 30% of the fixed salary.

Toll rates now include an environmental adjustment. Hungary has thus become one of the first EU countries to introduce an «air, noise, CO2» externalities component, which is added to the cost of infrastructure, significantly increasing the total amount.

In terms of costs, driver costs have increased by +25 % compared to 2019. Ultimately, operating costs have risen by +13 % in three years, now exceeding €1/km.
