News and information
09/01/2017
For the first time this year the National Tax
and Customs Administration will prepare your draft personal income tax return.
The draft tax return is a statement on the income acquired in 2016 which is
compiled on the basis of data provided by your employer or payer. We calculate
the tax on your income on your behalf, we take the tax advance payments
subtracted in the course of the year into account as well as the tax benefits.
The draft tax return indicates the balance of all these which – may be nil, or
taxes still payable by you, or amounts to be returned to you.
In case you are registered at the Client Gate:
You can check and modify the draft tax return prepared by the NTCA from 15 March 2017 onwards on the
webpage available from www.nav.gov.hu or www.magyarorszag.hu .
In case you are not registered at the
Client Gate, but make a request until 15 March 2017, the NTCA will send you
your draft tax return. Your request can be submitted in the following ways:
-
on
the form titled “Kérelem az adóbevallási tervezet papír alapon történő
átvételéhez” (Request for the receipt of the draft tax return on paper)
-
through postal mail without any formal requirements (but indicating your tax
identification code and your date of birth is required)
-
personally at a client service post of the NTCA
-
through the telephone information service of the NTCA
As of 1 February 2017:
-

-
on a form available on the NTCA website (www.nav.gov.hu/eszja/eszja)
From 15 March 2017 the request can only be submitted at the
client service posts of the NTCA. Upon this request you will receive your draft
tax return until 2 May 2017 through postal mail.
IF YOU AGREE WITH THE
DRAFT TAX RETURN PREPARED BY THE NTCA FOR YOU, you do not need to do anything. In this case
the draft prepared on 22 May 2017 will be your official tax return.
IN CASE YOU DO NOT
AGREE, you can
modify the draft tax return:
-
on the online surface if you are registered at the Client Gate,
-
by submitting the tax return 16SZJA if you received the draft through postal mail.
We hereby raise your
attention to the fact that the form
16SZJA and the fill-out guidelines
can be downloaded from the NTCA webpage or are available at the NTCA client service points.
IF YOU HAVE INCOME,
BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED FROM AN EMPLOYER OR PAYER
In case the NTCA does not prepare a draft tax
return for you on account of the lack of information from employers or payers;
nevertheless you do have income, you can prepare your tax return with the WebNYK program on the new NTCA internet surface after 15
March 2017. You may comply with your obligation by using the 16SZJA form and
the ÁNYK program or by filling out on paper. The “blank” form can be downloaded
and printed and is also available at the client services of the NTCA.
Who is allowed to proceed in your tax
affairs on your behalf?
-
If you authorize your employer to prepare your tax return (16M29) and your employer
accepts this authorization, we do not post a draft tax return for you.
-
Other persons, like legal representatives and authorized agents can also proceed.
Sending the draft tax return on paper may also take place by means of a one-time
authorization. A legal representative or a permanent authorized agent may also
check and modify your draft tax return on the electronic surface if you had reported
your authorized person (e.g. accountant) to the NTCA.
PLEASE TAKE CARE: If you do not modify your draft tax return or do not
submit the 16SZJA form until 22 May 2017 and no tax assessment is sent on
behalf of you by the employer, the draft tax return prepared by the NTCA will
become your official tax return.

How can you make arrangements about the 1+1 percent of
your tax?
09/01/2017
This year also presents
the opportunity to make arrangements about the 1+1% of your personal income tax
paid on the basis of your consolidated tax base. This can be done until 22 May
at the latest, regardless of the form of the personal income tax declaration.
As a private individual making a personal income tax payment, you have the
option to decide to offer 1% of your paid taxes to a civil organization, and
another 1% to a certain church or the National Talent Program.
The NTCA has published the list of those civil
organizations (together with their tax numbers, names and address of seats) to
which the 1+1% can be offered.
The list
of civil organizations eligible for offers of the 1% of the personal income tax
is available here:
www.nav.gov.hu/nav/szja1_1/regisztralt_civil_kedvezmenyezettek_2017
The list
of churches eligible for offers of the +1% and the special appropriation is
available here:
www.nav.gov.hu/nav/szja1_1/technikai_szamok
You can make arrangements about
your 1+1% offers together with your tax return or separately and regardless of
how you submit your tax return for the year 2016.
You can submit your arrangements:
- as
a part of your personal income tax return until 22 May 2017 (either electronically
through the Client Gate, via postal mail or personally at the NTCA client
service points), you also have the option to make arrangements about the
1+1% of your personal income tax on the electronic surface when you are
applying corrections to your draft personal income tax return on-line;
- in
a sealed envelope submitted to your employer in case of tax assessed by
your employer until 10 May 2017 (make sure that your tax identification
code is indicated on the closed envelope and your signature is given at
the place where the envelope is sealed);
- separately
from your tax return by submitting it directly to the NTCA until 22 May
2017
-
on the form 16EGYSZA (electronically through the client gate, via postal mail,
personally at the client service points of the NTCA in sealed envelopes indicating
your tax identification code).
The form can be downloaded from the
NTCA website.
It is important that the
deadline of 22 May is a limitation period deadline. That means that your
arrangements made about the 1+1% of your paid personal income tax after the
deadline are invalid and you cannot excuse your delay by means of a certified
request.
From January next year you will have the opportunity to check if the indicated
beneficiary or beneficiaries have indeed received the amount(s) from the 1+1%
offers.
In case you have a Client Gate registration, you will be electronically
notified of the transfer of the offered amount.
We hereby raise your attention to
the fact that you have the opportunity to indicate in your statement on your
1+1% arrangement if your name and your postal address and electronic address
should be revealed to the beneficiary indicated by you. The data management approval and the indication of data on the
statement on arrangements are voluntary and are not conditions of a valid
arrangement.

Questions and answers regarding the personal income
tax return
17/05/2016
Approximately
when does the NTCA mail me the personal income tax return package?
In 2017 the tax authority will not
mail personal income tax packages to private individuals. Draft tax returns
will be mailed to almost 4 million private individuals which private
individuals with a Client Gate registration will be able to access on their
electronic surface.
Those who have not yet registered on the Client Gate can request that their
draft income tax return be sent via postal mail by sending a text message
(SMS), filling out a form available on the internet, or by means of a request
sent by postal mail or with a telephone call.
For what
people will draft tax returns not be prepared?
No draft tax returns will be mailed
to private entrepreneurs, a primary agricultural producers and private
individuals obliged to pay value added tax. They will be obliged to comply with
their tax return obligations in the regular way by filling out the 16SZJA
return form.
I would
like to inquire if there is still an opportunity for filling out the 1653Ny
form and if I can make a request for you to prepare my tax return?
In 2017 the simplified tax return
may no longer be applied for, but the tax authority will make draft tax returns
for a large segment of private individuals.
Can a
person who had previously prepared their tax return themselves do the same this
year or are they supposed to wait for the draft tax return prepared by the
NTCA?
Anyone who wishes to prepare their tax returns independently can continue to do
that. The 16SZJA return form can be downloaded from the NTCA webpage.
In
previous years I had prepared my personal income tax return myself which I
submitted through the Client Gate. What am I supposed to do this year?
In 2017 a draft tax return is
prepared for a large segment of private individuals. Those who have access to
Client Gate can check their draft tax returns on the webpage available from www.nav.gov.hu or www.magyarorszag.hu from 15 March 2017.
Those taxpayers who have no access to the Client Gate must separately request
the NTCA to post their draft tax returns.
