The election platform of the Democratic Forum will be built on a more proportionate, just and broader based tax system and on increasing the employment rate, Forum candidate for prime minister Lajos Bokros announced on Sunday.
A radical and social turnaround is needed if Hungary is to advance instead of falling behind, he declared.
Bokros would introduce tuition fees in higher education, impose taxes on minimum wages and abolish local councils in villages.
National council president Zsolt Makay said the council will vote on the document on January 30.

Today the students pay if their average score is under a defined level. Students above that level do not need to pay. The actual level is decided per subject and school.
So it exists today and hit the one who are not clever enough. The name is different though.
Another difference is that you only need to prove yourself one time in the current system.
Today if you make the cut for free education, by doing a good work (or paying the teacher to give you good points, or your rich parents put you in a school that always gives good points), then after you have started your studies, just relax, it is free and you will never be kicked out.
The current system is made for the well-off and well-connected to put their brats for a few years.

A change to tuition fees would make every one pay and could open up for rewarding actual good students with paid fees or similar.
Today’s system is sick, but it makes for good populist slogans.
Viking. Hungary is sick. How it has managed to survive these past twenty years with the level of incompetence shown by politicians and their respective parties is a mystery that will never be solved. Perhaps borrowing large sums of money from the same suckers that know they will never get it back could be one answer.
The situation is bleak. It is going to take a huge, combined effort, to steer the ship away from the rocks. Orban and his crew will not do it alone. Ship ahoy, sailor boy!
mre Makovecz, the world famous Hungarian architect
closed his Makona Design Office. According to the
architect, the company used up all its resources
and cannot pay, any longer, its employees. The
agency became the victim of the unique Hungarian
tax law that requires employers to pay taxes on
projects, they haven’t received payments yet.
Treasonous government criminals and foreign
agents, in tandem with their global masters
devised this unique tax law to eliminate local
businesses, in favour of international
corporations. According experts, due to this tax
law thousands of small companies went out of
business in recent years.
Makovecz is one of the most prominent proponents
of organic architecture.

You pay tax on what you invoice to the State and then the local Government can levy tax which is based on turnover also. The latter tax is actually the hardest one and is frequently challenged in EU-courts then it can be seen as a breach against the 6th Amendment (Value Added Tax). This tax is *not* Hungarian specific, then Italy also have it among other countries.
Countries that have implemented these type of taxes do have a problem with that extremely few companies do actually have a profit, and still they can operate year after year.
This mean that a profit-based tax would give nothing to the State and the owners would continue to cheat, because of course that is what it is. You cannot operate a company year after year with an official loss, or ridiculous low profits.
To combat this Hungary has a law which states that companies that have been running without profit for 3 years are automatic terminated.

If you never get paid for your invoices, you hardly can expect to survive anyway. The tax issue could make it a bit faster, but it is hardly the real issue here.
You stupid prick viking , you don’t read !!
Obviously you an’t read!! “tax law that requires

Yes I can both read and understand what I am reading, in opposition to you and your best friend’s mistress.
And I do pay tax in Hungary as both private individual and owning several companies, so I think I know what I write about.
Many countries demand that when you issue an invoice you pay the VAT to the State for that, regardless if it has been paid or not.
If the invoice then is not paid, be my guest try to get that back from the Tax Office.
If you ask to get it back, you immediate get a VAT checking for the last 5 years as ‘thank you for asking’. This is not Hungarian-specific, this is how it works in many countries.
You obviously did not read my original post, there I give 2 other examples on taxes both in Hungary and other countries that you pay on issued invoices.
If you did not know, when a company issue an invoice, it did not receive any money. It just asks for it. If the invoice is not paid, tough luck. That is how it is to do business.
Now you go and look up the word ‘receipt’, but if you feel you need to visit the toilet, please do.
