150,000 Hungarian Companies Fail To Pay Chamber Fee
As many as 150,000 Hungarian companies have failed to pay an annual business chamber registration fee this year, daily Magyar Nemzet said on Wednesday. Last year, about 600,000 companies paid the 5,000 forint registration fee, but this year, just 440,000 have paid it, Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MKIK) chief secretary Péter Dunai told the paper.

March 31 was the deadline for payment. Local chambers have initiated collection of the fees in about 15,000 cases, Dunai said.

The tax office is managing the collection. Since 2012, Hungarian companies have been required by law to register with their local chamber of commerce and pay an annual registration fee.
