Hungary Cryptocurrency Tax
Detailed cryptocurrency tax rates and rules for Hungary in 2026.
Cryptocurrency gains in Hungary are taxed at the flat 15% income tax rate plus 13% social contribution (SZOCHO), for a combined rate of 28%. However, if the taxpayer opts for the controlled capital market transaction classification (certain conditions apply), only the 15% income tax applies without SZOCHO. Gains are calculated as the difference between selling price and acquisition cost.

Additional Notes
Hungary has provided limited specific guidance on crypto taxation. Crypto-to-crypto transactions may constitute taxable events. Mining income is treated as other income. The 5-year tax-free TBSZ account generally does not cover crypto assets. Hungary is implementing EU MiCA regulations. Detailed record-keeping of all transactions is required.
