    Key advantages of representation in Hungary

    • Minimal costs – does not require authorized capital and is easier to register than a branch office
    • Market testing – opportunity to assess the potential of business in the EU without serious investments
    • Direct contacts – establishment of business relations with European partners
    • Tax benefits – the representative office does not conduct commercial activities, which simplifies taxation
    • Business support – access to developed infrastructure and favorable geographical location of Hungary

    Hungary ranks first in Central Europe in terms of foreign investment growth (15% growth in 2023).

    How does a representative office differ from a branch office?

    The representative office in Hungary is a non-profit unit that:

    01
    Does not conduct independent economic activities
    02
    Does not receive income on the territory of Hungary
    03
    Serves as a marketing, market research and customer support organization
    04
    Does not require complex financial reporting

    Important:

    • A representative office is not a legal entity
    • The registration period is only 3-5 working days
    • Does not require significant maintenance costs
    Taxation of a representative office

    Since the representative office does not carry on business:

    • Does not pay corporation tax
    • Is not a VAT payer
    • Taxable only on hospitality expenses (if any)

    A branch or subsidiary will need to be registered in order to conduct business activities.
