Why Hungary?

A Hungarian Kft (Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság) gives you access to the lowest corporate tax rate in the entire European Union at just 9%. Combined with full EU membership, a skilled workforce, and competitive operational costs, Hungary is an excellent choice for businesses seeking a cost-effective European presence.

Note for U.S. citizens: The U.S. taxes citizens on worldwide income regardless of residence. Hungary’s low corporate tax benefits non-U.S. persons directly. Americans can still benefit from EU market access, the treaty network, and business credibility.
