What is Non-resident allowances declaration?
Hungarian tax-base allowances, such as the family allowance (családi kedvezmény), the personal allowance, the first-married couples' allowance or the allowances for mothers, are normally given in the monthly tax advance once the employee hands the employer the right declaration. If you are tax-resident in another country, NAV's guidance says your Hungarian employer (or other payer) only takes them into account when you also attach this supplementary declaration.
In it you declare that your employment and self-employment income, pension and similar income from earlier employment that is taxable in Hungary reach 75 percent of all your income for the year, including income not taxable in Hungary. NAV's guidance adds that you can only claim if you don't take the same or a similar allowance for the same period in another country where that income is also taxable.
FileIt explains the conditions in English, checks the tax numbers' check digits, and prints your name, tax identification number and the year into NAV's own boxes. You sign two copies and give one to the employer with your other declarations. FileIt never submits anything.
