Besides recurring and year-end payroll services and the standard services for new hires and leavers, our professionals have the ability to answer any questions that come up in relation to payments, payroll and also in reference to the labour code. These are the types of consultancy services we offer to companies and individuals:
- Payroll consultancy
- Advice on the labour code

- Legal advice on taxes or on Hungarian law in relation to employment
Thanks to the ability of our consultants to closely cooperate with the authorities, in case of payroll audits (internal or external), they will assist and represent you in communications with state authorities thanks to the power of attorney and also provide you with full support during labour, social and health security inspections executed by local authorities.
Payroll management service takes place through a management program where a whole series of data is automatically calculated, which, once processed, generates downloadable reports that can be used to have control over employee payroll management, or, for individuals, to gain a complete overview of the payroll situation.
Employers in Hungary must comply with certain withholding requirements when processing payroll.
In principle, this involves withholding income tax and social security contributions from employee salaries and submitting them to the relevant authorities.
Employee social security contributions in Hungary cover unemployment insurance, health insurance and pension funds – and are calculated as a percentage of salary.
Social security born by the employer is 15.5% + 1.5% training contribution total 17.0% and the deductions are 15% for personal income tax and 18.5% social security deduction.
Under Hungarian law, companies have a retention obligation for certain types of documents. Section 169 of the Hungarian Accounting Act stipulates that the company’s original accounts and records (the “company books and records”) have to be retained for at least eight years.
Act LXXXI of 1997 on Social Security Pension Benefits section 99/A stipulates that the employer has to keep all employment and social security documents related to the company’s current and former employees for five years after the employee reaches retirement age.
Our consultants offer comprehensive advice on all employment issues at work and those related to the payment of taxes on contributions, always in relation to employment.
