Hungary’s Tax Office To Be Restructured
- 10 Jul 2015 9:00 AM
Planned government changes in the tax system require a new structure, government office chief János Lázár said, adding that this may entail appointing a new management. He said he was offering his “personal opinion” on Economy Minister Mihály Varga’s recent comments—the minister said changes to tax office management were being considered in light of the government’s handling of the US entry ban scandal last year.
Lázár said he did have further information but could not comment at this point.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán plans a “complete reform of tax procedures” before the end of the year, he added.
Last year’s scandal and the government’s response to it has weakened NAV’s current leadership and public trust in the organisation, Varga told weekly Figyelő published on Thursday.
NAV chief Ildikó Vida, among the six officials barred from the US, may or may not remain in her post, he indicated.
