Dividends paid to shareholders who are not private individuals are not subject to withholding tax.

Dividends paid to non-resident private individuals are taxed according to the rate applicable under the relevant double taxation treaty. If no double taxation treaty applies, withholding tax is payable at the rate of 15%.

Dividends distributed to Hungarian business entities are exempt from tax at source and in the hands of the shareholders.
