Hungary Abolishes Income Tax for Mothers with Children

Women in Hungary will no longer have to pay income tax if they have children:

• Mothers with one child are exempt from income tax until they turn 30.
• Mothers with two or more children will never pay income tax again.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced this on his social media account, stating:

“Hungary is making history with the largest tax cut in Europe & the entire Western world! We are building the world’s first family-centred economy.”

Previously, it was reported that these tax changes would come into effect in 2026, the same year as Hungary’s next parliamentary elections, scheduled for spring 2026.
