G. Erdős: Hungary Introduces an Annual Transfer Pricing Data Reporting System, International Transfer Pricing Journal, 2023 (Volume 30), No. 3
The article describes the Hungarian transfer pricing data reporting rules effective as of 2023. The new rules require detailed annual reporting on transactions with related parties as a part of the corporate income tax return. The expressed goal of the new reporting obligation is to assist the tax authorities in their risk assessment and audit subject selection exercise. The new requirement is also supposed to encourage taxpayers to prepare their transfer pricing documentations in time, otherwise, they will not be able to fulfil their reporting obligations. The article analyses the scope of the new reporting obligations including transaction types, methods, indicators and range. It also gives an update on the current focus of state tax audits and the most frequent assessments.

Abstract: Transfer pricing legislation has a long history both internationally and in Hungary yet, in some simple cases, the determination whether parties are related still proves to be difficult. The paper analyzes four situations, namely, majority influence if voting rights do not follow ownership rights, the aggregation of participation of close relatives, interpretations of same management, and the calculation of indirect interest. The common theme in these situations is that neither the legislation nor the legal practice gives unambiguous rules and their calculation.
