Viktor Orbán Pledges Tariff War Not to Affect Tax Exemption for Mothers

Hungary Today 2025.04.09.

“The tariff war is not an obstacle, we will implement Europe’s biggest tax reduction program,” the Prime Minister said on his Facebook page on Tuesday.

Viktor Orbán said in a video message that on Tuesday, the Hungarian Parliament debated Europe’s biggest tax reduction program, which he said “we are implementing here in Hungary.”

We will introduce lifelong personal income tax exemption for mothers of three and two children,”

he underlined.

Fact

In February, Hungary’s government announced an extensive tax reduction program for mothers, unique in Europe. Within the framework of the program, from October 1, 2025, mothers with three children will not have to pay income tax. This will affect around 250,000 mothers. For mothers of two, the tax exemption will be phased in over four years in a graduated, ascending system according to age. In addition, from 2026, all mothers up to the age of 30 will be exempt from paying personal income tax.

Mothers of two children under 40 will become exempt from 2026, and those aged between 40 and 50 will become exempt from 2027. This will be followed by those aged 50-60 from 2028. For mothers over 60 with two children, tax exemption will be introduced from 2029.

The Prime Minister also noted that on Tuesday, the government held a cabinet meeting to review the impact of the tariff war that has broken out in the meantime on the plans.

Hungary is prepared for all eventualities, we will not let the tariff war divert us from the path of tax cuts,”

the Prime Minister stressed, adding “we will introduce the mothers’ personal income tax exemption, and we will implement the biggest tax cut in Europe, because Hungary can do it.”
