In short, hungarians are a community of engineers, doctors, IT professionals and hospitality staff, so the VAT Return Filing authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Hungarian applications every day and process them without hesitation.

Is VAT Return Filing mandatory for a free zone company?
Once registered, every company files returns on the schedule the FTA assigns, for most applicants quarterly. Free zone status does not change the filing obligation.
How long does VAT Return Filing take with the FTA?
The FTA typically responds within 20 business days, and simple applications are often approved faster. GoldenKey submits a complete file to avoid information requests.
Does VAT Return Filing apply to a new company with no revenue yet?
Filing starts from the first tax period after registration, even if the return is nil.
Can a Hungarian citizen own 100% of a company in VAT Return Filing?
Yes. Hungarians can own the full share capital of a VAT Return Filing company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Can my family from Hungary join me?
