Hello everyone.
I have a full-time job in Hungary but I was offered contractual work as a software developer with a daily rate. I'll be paid out at the end of the month after I present them with an invoice. The company is in another European country and they'll be paying me in a foreign currency.
I'll be pulling in about 2500 EUR a month in addition to my regular salaried job so I wanted to know what you'd recommend in terms of minimizing the amount of tax I'd have to pay on that money. Just FYI, I worked as an egyéni vállalkozó with the KATA tax scheme but my status is dormant because I took up full-time employment at the start of this year so I know all about that. I can issue invoices and I have an accountant I can call up but before I do, I just wanted to hear your two cents. My main concern is that 12 * 2500 adds up to more than the permitted 6 million HUF a year that is flat-taxed and I know that the rest would be taxed at a steep 40%.
What do you recommend? Thanks in advance.
