How to declare your 1+1% tax?

Everyone who works and pays taxes in Hungary needs to file their tax return statement every year. You have the possibility to decide about 1+1% of your personal income tax that you paid in the previous year and donate it to a good cause.

What is the 1+1% tax?
1% can be offered to a civil organization, and another 1% to a church or religious community of your choice. Designating your 1% is easy, confidential, and enables Hungarian taxpayers to support worthy causes in Hungary at no financial cost. In case you don't decide to whom you're donating, the government can reallocate that money in the country's yearly budget. Take control and support a community of your choice!
