Fiscal representation in Hungary

If a company whose headquarters are outside the EU (“non-EU companies”) is obliged to register for tax purposes in Hungary, then it is required to appoint a fiscal representative in order to perform its tax obligations.

Such non-EU companies can only be represented before the Hungarian Tax Authority by the engaged fiscal representative. The fiscal representative shall also be obliged to file the tax returns of the represented company. It is also important that the fiscal representative and the represented company bear joint and universal liabilities for the tax obligations of the company in Hungary.

Forvis Mazars provides the aforementioned fiscal representation services in Hungary. It assists in completing the tax registration process and provides all the associated tax compliance services during the course of the engagement and, if necessary, also provides tax advisory services for the represented company.
