Relationships between tax communication, education and tax administration in Hungary between 2018 and 2022

Abstract

Purpose: The objective of the study is to highlight the relevant contexts and problems of the Hungarian tax administration from the aspects of digitalisation, communication and education between 2018 and 2022. Methodology/approach: The article is based on the statements from the professional literature and analysis of secondary data from national and international authorities and institutions. The article makes several comparisons. Findings: The article shows how Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is used in tax administration in Hungary, filling the research gap. Based on the comparison, the digital development of Hungary is similar to that of the EU average. However, there are some impediments, such as the complexity of tax regulations and the numerous communication channels that exist. They could be simplified, and our proposed modifications in terms of communication and education could improve the use of ICT in the Hungarian tax system. Research limitations: The research does not provide an in–depth examination of Hungarian tax legislation and lacks any primary research. Originality/value: The article deals with some aspects of tax administration in Hungary; it describes the current situation and gives proposals for its development.
