Local Opinion: Hungarian Growth Model Praised
A pro-government analyst points out that tax revenues are increasing fast, which he attributes to the government’s economic policy, and most importantly, to tax cuts.

In Figyelő, Dániel Deák points out that tax revenues have been on the increase despite the government’s tax cuts. In 2018, the state collected 720 billion Forints more in taxes than a year before.

All this shows that the government could successfully boost revenue through tax cuts, more efficient public spending and cutting down tax evasion, Deák writes.

He concludes by suggesting that if the Left gets back to power, they will introduce tax hikes and austerity again, as they did before 2010.

    Truth About Tisza Tax Plans: Massive Leaflet Campaigns Started in Hungary

    The Tisza Party launched a nationwide leaflets campaign on the weekend, setting forth its tax reduction plans in response to a Fidesz campaign accusing Tisza of planning to raise taxes. Fidesz will send four million leaflets carrying this message to Hungarian households, twice as many as the two million copies of the Tisza publication. Magyar said that they will reach all Hungarian settlements with “the truth” before October 23. Fidesz caucus leader Máté Kocsis announced on Saturday that by October 1 four million leaflets will be sent out about the Tisza Party’s “tax-raising plans”. These will be relayed to all mailboxes with the help of 10,000 volunteers, he added.
