Hungary was authorised, until 31 December 2024, to continue to apply a special measure derogating from Article 287, point (12), of Directive 2006/112/EC and thus to exempt from VAT taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than the equivalent in national currency of EUR 48 000 at the conversion rate on the day of its accession to the Union (the ‘special measure’).Hungary requested an authorisation to increase the threshold of the existing special measure to EUR 71 500 for the remainder of the authorised period.Given that the special measure has had a positive impact on the simplification of VAT-related obligations, as it has reduced the administrative burden and compliance costs for both small enterprises and tax authorities, and given that it lacks any major impact on the total VAT revenue generated, Hungary should be authorised to apply the special measure.
