The increasing international market integration has led to an ever greater interest in the value of new business locations. The developments in Eastern Europe are especially interesting in this context. Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic are highly competitive business locations.

Thanks to its political stability and the consistency with which it has implemented economic reforms, Hungary in particular has managed to create conditions that conform to European norms and are especially favourable for investors.

In order to become active abroad in business, or indeed as a private person, first the legal requirements and the level of the tax burden and its effects need to be analysed. Which legal form is chosen for a Hungarian limited liability or trading company, for instance, can lead to considerable differences in the potential size of the tax burden.

With our specialist competence we will accompany you and support you in your business venture in Hungary.

As an initial step in the planning and implementation of a cross-border venture,
what we offer you includes:
• comprehensive structuring advice together with an experienced local lawyer
• tax optimisation through the choice of the ideal legal form for your business, or
• the exploitation of tax benefits when starting up your business.

As a second step, once your business has successfully been established,
we offer ongoing tax and legal counselling in such areas as:
• book-keeping
• annual statements and tax returns, as well as
• optimisation through any necessary restructuring.

Independent of the taxation aspects, there are other financial benefits and support possibilities to be considered. The German state, some other international organisations, also the banks, offer a whole range of different support measures. These are generally designed as launch aid, in the form of grants, subsidies or loans. Here, too, we will look for any potential investment aid for you and negotiate optimal conditions with the relevant institutions.
