Women with two children exempted from income tax in Hungary
- On Tuesday, Hungary's parliament passed a law that will eliminate income tax for mothers of two or three children starting this October.
- This law follows a series of nationalist government measures since 2010 aiming to increase the birth rate amid recent fertility declines.
- Additional support includes subsidised loans, family housing allowances, and previous tax exemptions for women with four or more children.
- By 2029, the government expects tax exemptions to result in a budgetary cost of 2.38 billion euros, while Hungary's fertility rate, as of March, has fallen to 1.31 children per woman.
- The law aims to reverse population decline by raising fertility to 2.1 by 2035, but economists warn it presents a substantial budget challenge before next year’s polls.
