I am leaving Budapest for a year or two ,and wish to rent out my apartment in District VII.
I will use a local reputable agency to mange the flat, getting good tenant (apparently no problem),collecting rentals and utilities, deducting costs, transferring rentals to my local bank account,etc.
There seems to be various advice about tax payments on rentals. The best advice is to get the tenant to rent the flat as a company, and they then pay the tax monthly directly to the Tax Authorities (the agency will organise that aspect.) This seems to be the easiest and safest.
The other is that I get a Tax ID and pays directly but, as rentals are low at the moment, it is hardly worthwhile renting out if I have to pay the tax myself out of the rent (and other charges such as the agency fees,etc).
All help would be appreciated.
