Hello everyone,
I originally arrived to Hungary as a student couple of years ago, so I have a tax id number, but I changed my residence permit status from 'studies' to 'other', which doesn't allow me to perform any work activity.
While this was happening I was studying web development and some digital agency from Germany got interested in my personal projects. They went through the interview process with me and at the end proposed me to become a part of their network so they could send me some occasional freelance work. They also asked me to provide them either a tax id or VAT, although they don't really provide me any contract (I assume that actually their clients will provide me a contract if they find me fitting).
So I think if I will decide to work with them, I probably should change my visa status again so I can have the right to earn within the country, but I was wondering, is it an option to work from Hungary as a freelancer with just a tax id at all? Don't I have to get KATA or EVA or something similar? And if yes than does anyone know how I would be taxed? Also, can the tax id still be valid if I already changed the resident permit status?
