Hungary plans to impose a new tax on Internet data transfers, a draft 2015 tax bill submitted to parliament late on Tuesday showed, in a move that could hit Internet and telecoms providers and their customers hard.
The draft tax code contains a provision for Internet providers to pay a tax of 150 forints (37 pence) per gigabyte of data traffic, though it would also let companies offset corporate income tax against the new levy.
The Hungarian government has announced a new tax on internet traffic: 150 HUF ($0.62 USD) per gigabyte.
Wow. That is absolutely stupid. I hope Hungarian citizens vote the morons in their government who put forth this legislation out of office. At some point a new party will take control, and some other stupid legislation will come about.
