The reduction would save 4 mln Hungarians a combined HUF 120 bln in taxes, Varga said after informing the leaders of the parliamentary group of governing alliance Fidesz-KDNP of next yearʼs budget draft.

Varga also proposed a handful of other measures that could save taxpayers an additional HUF 40 bln. Varga said the ministry would submit the budget draft to Parliament on May 13.

At a Business Leaders Forum earlier in March, Varga said he expected the personal income tax to become a single-digit measure.
