NAK said it had surveyed Hungary’s local municipalities regarding the farmland tax and approximately 50 plan to introduce the tax. NAK said such a tax has raised several concerns. Landowners could pass the tax on to farmland users, in which case farmland users would simultaneously be paying the local business tax directly and the farmland tax indirectly.
Another concern is that the farmland tax would withdraw funds from the farm sector, NAK added in its statement. Hungarian agricultural producers and food industry companies are all members of NAK on a mandatory basis.
