Administration will be reduced, tax revenues will remain unchanged and the budget balance will remain stable, the minister said in a commentary.
The financial website portfolio.hu notes that after the Hungarian currency, the forint's plunge in recent months, companies are switching to euro accounting. Earlier, László Parragh, President of the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MKIK), told the website that more and more companies are invoicing in euros because it is the stable point. Nowadays, there are hotels that already charge their guests in euros. And with Mihály Varga's announcement, companies can also pay their taxes in euros or US dollars.
