Hungary's government plans to levy a new tax on Internet data transfers, according to the draft 2015 tax bill submitted to parliament late on Tuesday, which could hit Internet providers and the country's telecommunications companies.
The draft tax code contains a provision for Internet providers to pay 150 forints (60 US cents) in tax per gigabyte of data traffic, but would also allow companies to offset corporate income tax against the Internet tax.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government has in the past few years also imposed special taxes on the banking, retail, telecommunications and energy sectors to keep the budget deficit in check, jeopardizing profits in some sectors of the economy and unnerving international investors.
Negara Hungary akan kenakan cukai caj RM1.96 bagi setiap 1GB pengunaan (semua ISP yang ada di Hungary harus patuh, tiada pengecualian). Hal ini berikutan kerana pengguna Internet di Hungary yang merupakan pen-download torrent (piracy) ketiga terbesar di dunia dan ini adalah langkah kerajaan untuk membendung masalah piracy.
