Hi Am living in Hungary and may get a job from a UK company (remote working) but they want to pay my salary into a UK bank account, does anyone know which bank in the UK allows you to open an international bank account. I have looked at Lloyds, ...

N26 is no longer available to UK residents, so not sure how well it's supported post Brexit. But spending time in both the UK and Hungary I can vouch for both Revolut and Wise (formally TransferWise). I'd say Wise seems more established and ... Read More

Hello! Budapest in particular is a fantastic place, I think you'll love it! Initially you'll probably want to meet some other expats to show you around/advise you on all sorts of things. There is a good expat community in Budapest, though ... Read More

Running a UK ltd but living in Hungary by BettiS

Hi Everyone, May I ask if there is anyone here who runs a UK ltd from Hungary? I am a Virtual Assistant and moving to Hungary in the summer. The best option to carry on with this activity if I do this through my own company. I would love to hear ...

This is only the way I thought it worked... The way I understand it is that when you spend more than half your year in Hungary you would need to declare your personal worldwide income - and be taxed on personal income you get from all sources ... Read More

What Is Your Favorite Hungarian Wine? by GuestPoster279

Be creative. There are dozens of worthy varietal wines in Hungary. Many unheard of outside of central Europe. Negative points for Egri Bikavér (bulls blood) or Tokaji wine, as those are way, way too predictable. :)

gazamataz

I like a nice red wine. If I'm going out and in somewhere like divino then my choice is a Heimann Birtokbor. I love Budapest for it's wine bars as you can try so many by the glass. From a supermarket then there's a fairly cheap bulls ... Read More

Hi All! Hoping someone has the knowledge or experience to help me! I am currently registered as a sole trader (last 2/3 years) in the UK for a small business that I run which is website based and involves organising sport trips/camps for people ...

The way I understood it was that there's a double taxation treaty between the UK and Hungary. This means you (only) pay tax in the jurisdiction where you spend more than half your year - and this is tax on all income whether earnt in the UK or ... Read More

I've just opened a Kft and have an English speaking accountant. She seems fine. It's still early days though (less than 2 months), so not comfortable recommending her yet - unless you get stuck and want to take a leap of faith (let me ... Read More

Thoughts on the Brexit vote? by Vicces1

How will this affect you? Does it mean anything to your daily business / lifestyle? Do you think any other countries will consider leaving? Will Scotland leave the UK? Do you think the remaining EU countries will make it more difficult for England ...

gazamataz

Haha thanks Marilyn. For info, is that rule more than 90 continuous days, or total 90 days in any 180 day period? It's difficult to understand how it's defined. So I guess you stayed 90 days then had to stay in the states or somewhere for ... Read More
