CEE View - Inbound M&A Report 2018-2019
The Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) M&A market delivered exceptional value and opportunity for
dealmakers in 2018. Even though M&A activity in Russia, the region’s largest economy, has tumbled
due to sanctions and geopolitical tensions, overall CEE deal value is down by just 1% and deal volumes
have only fallen by 7%. When the impact of the current Russian situation is stripped out, the
robust performance and attractiveness of M&A in the region is evident, notably when speaking about
countries like Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary or the Adriatic region.

Mazars CEE Tax Guide 2019
In the first section, the tax systems of the CEE region are presented country-by-country, based on data provided by the relevant Mazars offices. At the end of this guide you will find summary tables that allow side-by-side comparisons
of the relevant tax environments.
This year’s issue already covers 22 CEE countries. The primary aim of the publication is to allow for comparisons to be made between the fundamental factors of competitiveness in the region. What are these factors? They primarily include the extent of the taxes and contributions on employment, the rates and special features of turnover taxes, as well as the corporate income tax system. In this year’s publication, we prepared a separate table summarizing key characteristic, like allowances for research and development (R&D) activities, or loss carry forward regulations.
Highlights of 2019:
Consumption-type taxes are still paramount, collection practices are becoming more stringent
Positive impressions with online invoicing
The total wage cost of employers is still close to 160% of the net wages; Hungary is still behind in this respect
Corporate income taxes differ widely, the greatest difference exceeds 20 percentage points
The European Union has taken steps to restrain tax competition and prevent tax evasion
of the relevant tax environments.

Publication of the fifth Central Eastern European Tax brochure (2017)
Mazars in Hungary published its fifth regional tax survey, which presents snapshots and comparative charts of the tax systems of 19 CEE countries including Austria. The goal of the brochure is not only to inform about the different regional taxation system, but also to facilitate the thinking about taxation of foreign investors in these regions, which may be a first step in a subsequent decision.
The survey presenting 19 countries covers the income of individuals, the taxation of company profits, as well as the indirect taxation. The brochure also provides the opportunity for comparison about tax rates, as well as of the rates of labour-related costs as compared to the net salary. Outside Hungary’s neighboring countries and the Visegrad countries, all ex-Yugoslav states are presented in the material, after Greece and Russia.
