Flat tax tips:

* It is important to prepare a budget in advance to decide on the most appropriate form of taxation.
It is advisable to ask for the help of an accountant at the planning stage, as there are many details to keep in mind when making your choice.

* If you opt for a flat tax, in case you manage to get into the favorable 80-90% category, you should "clean up" your list of activities, and never invoice under a TOR number that (from the beginning of the year) reclassifies you into a worse category.

* Be careful with the income limits, because you may also be reclassified and, in addition, if you lose the possibility of a flat tax, you will not be able to opt for it again in the next two calendar years.

* You should pay attention to the HUF 12 million limit for the VAT exemption, because above this amount you will have to file a monthly VAT return.

* Anyone who is entitled to opt for flat-rate taxation both as a self-employed person and as a farmer may apply flat-rate taxation separately and simultaneously to the two types of activity

* A self-produced product is also considered a retail product.

* Invoices and other supporting documents relating to expenditure incurred to obtain the income must be kept until the right to tax retroactively becomes statute barred. On the one hand, it is compulsory, and on the other hand, it may be useful if the self-employed person is subject to retrospective taxation based on itemized cost accounting

* It is compulsory to keep a cash book or a ledger of receipts,

* The self-employed person must also produce and keep pay slips, just as if they were a company.

*A monthly payroll-related tax return must be submitted even if you have no income.
