Breaking News: Hungary's Prime Minister Orbán Withdraws Internet Tax
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has announced the withdrawal of the proposal of internet tax in the public radio this morning. Orbán said that he was considering the issue rather a technical question of taxation and he is still convinced that extending the telecom tax would be justified.

However, since “the debate has been twisted”, it would be a communist attitude to force the introduction of the internet tax against the will of the people, he said.

Instead of the internet tax he launches National Consultation on the telecommunication matters beginning in January 2015.

“National Consultation instead of internet tax. It will begin mid-January” (Viktor Orbán’s Facebook Page)
