Hungary tax treaties

Hungary maintains around 85 double taxation treaties in force. They generally follow the OECD Model Convention and reduce withholding tax on cross-border dividends, interest and royalties, so the same income is not taxed twice when you move, invest or earn across borders. That is a broad network, useful for internationally mobile earners and investors.
