Frequently asked questions

The questions we get most often.

How much does it cost to open a KFT in Hungary?

GlobaLink fees start from €1,500 for full setup. You also need HUF 3,000,000 (~€7,500) share capital (deposited over time). Notary and registration fees add €400-600.

How long does it take?

With GlobaLink, your KFT is operational in 7-10 working days from document submission.

Do I need to live in Hungary?

No. EU citizens (and many non-EU nationals) can be shareholders and directors without Hungarian residency.

What's the tax rate?

Hungary has the lowest corporate tax in the EU: 9%. VAT is 27% on local sales, 0% on intra-EU exports under VIES.

Can I invoice clients in my home country?

Yes. With an HU VAT number registered in VIES, you can issue B2B invoices across the EU using reverse charge. B2C: €10,000 OSS threshold.

Do you speak English?

Yes, our team works in English (and Italian/Hungarian). Hungarian bureaucracy is handled internally — you never deal with local agencies directly.
