    Common Questions

    Hungary Incorporation FAQs

    Can a US company own 100% of a Hungary Kft. (Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság)?

    Yes. The EU permits 100% foreign ownership of a Hungary Kft. (Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság) by a US individual or US corporate parent, with no local shareholder requirement.

    Do I need to be a Hungary resident to be a director?

    No, Hungary does not require directors of a Kft. (Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság) to be locally resident, though a registered local office address is mandatory and we provide this as part of formation.

    How long does Hungary company registration take?

    Typical registration timelines run 1–2 weeks, depending on document notarisation, apostille processing, and capital deposit requirements.

    What is the corporate tax rate in Hungary?

    Hungary applies 9% flat corporate tax rate — lowest headline rate in the EU. The US-Hungary tax treaty framework and EU parent-subsidiary directive help prevent double taxation on profits repatriated to a US parent.

    Can I use one Hungary entity to trade across the whole EU?

    Yes, once registered in Hungary, the entity can trade, invoice, and register for VAT OSS to sell across all 27 EU member states under the EU single market framework.
