MHSZ and BKIK said Hungarians in the creative industry do project-based work that doesn't fit neatly into the category of contracted employment or independent business activity. They pointed to the need for a simple tax form that addresses the particularities of these professions and involves minimal administration and costs.

They warned that the modification to the KATA rules would leave around 150,000 Hungarians who work in film, literature, the fine arts, the applied arts, fashion and design, and academia without an appropriate tax form.
