In 2026, this country offers you tax reduction and has become the preferred choice for investors!

"I have my own business in Europe, but the tax burden in several major countries is just too heavy. Is there a better choice?" — This is the most frequently heard question from high-net-worth clients by the Globevisa Europe Project Department.

While many European countries are considering raising taxes due to debt pressures, Hungary is taking the opposite approach. By lowering tax burdens, increasing wages, and expanding welfare. This swift action has made Hungary a focal point for global investors.

Recently, the Hungarian government launched a comprehensive economic stimulus plan, demonstrating its determination to attract international capital and talent.

The government has announced new subsidy, wage growth and tax reduction plans to welcome the New Year. Accordingly, by 2026, households will have a total disposable income of 2 trillion forints (5 billion euros). Furthermore, according to the latest analysis by the Oeconomus Economic Research Foundation, due to corporate tax cuts and administrative streamlining, the government will save enterprises approximately 90 billion forints (235 million euros).

Economic Reforms: More Than Just Numbers, It’s About Quality of Life

Hungary's current reforms cover a broad spectrum: household tax reductions have doubled, families with three children can receive around 2.4 million Forints annually, and mothers under 40 with two children or under 30 with one child will be exempt from personal income tax for life. The minimum wage will rise by 11%, guaranteeing a 7% increase in salaries; small and medium-sized enterprises will benefit from significant tax savings; pensions, teachers', and public sector salaries will also increase simultaneously.

Behind these policies lies a clear economic logic: by boosting residents' purchasing power, Hungary aims to stimulate domestic demand and create a virtuous economic cycle. Unlike countries focused solely on fiscal balance, Hungary emphasizes sustainable economic growth and the tangible benefits for its citizens.

Living Here: The Art of Balancing Low Costs and High Quality

Beyond economic policy, Hungary offers a compelling living environment. The capital, Budapest, is known as the "Pearl of the Danube," where historical depth meets modern vibrancy. Notably, the cost of living here is 30%-40% lower than in Western European countries, while medical, educational, and public services maintain EU standards, creating a unique "high value-for-money" living advantage. Safe communities, a comprehensive social welfare system, and rich cultural resources together foster a livable and opportunity-filled environment.

Investment Immigration Pathway: A Pragmatic Choice to Europe

Against this backdrop, Hungary's investment immigration program provides international investors with a practical and efficient pathway. The program requires an investment of €250,000 in a government-approved fund, with a transparent and efficient process that typically allows for approval within 3-6 months. After obtaining residency, individuals can live and work freely in Hungary and travel within the Schengen area, opening doors for opportunities in Europe.

The advantages of the program are evident.

As an EU member state, Hungarian residency offers mobility across the EU; the corporate tax rate of 9% is among the lowest in Europe.

The geographical location in the heart of Europe provides a strategic fulcrum for business expansion.

Additionally, the government-regulated fund structures ensure safety and transparency of investments, while high-quality international education resources and a robust healthcare system provide solid support for long-term family development.

Why Now Is the Time

Currently, it is a prime window for establishing a presence in Hungary. From a policy standpoint, Hungary's immigration regulations are stable and clear, contrasting with the increasingly strict immigration policies across Europe; economically, the large-scale stimulus plan indicates an incoming growth cycle, and early entry can mean better opportunities. In the market, there is currently low competition for applications, and approval efficiency is high, coupled with the added benefit of low euro exchange rates, further reducing investment costs.

These factors collectively create a timely opportunity for investors.

Advice for Investors: Action Over Observation

For those considering investment immigration to Hungary, it’s advisable to initiate a professional assessment as soon as possible, completing applications during this stable policy window. Experienced professional agencies can help mitigate risks and enhance efficiency. It is also recommended to incorporate this investment into an overall wealth strategy, considering tax optimization, asset allocation, and identity planning.

Hungary is building a friendly ecological system for residents, businesses, and investors through pragmatic and forward-looking policies. In an ever-evolving global economic landscape, choosing a politically stable, economically promising country with a high quality of life is a common choice among more and more investors.
