The so-called “Tisza Party’s personal income tax hike” would take away an annual 356,000 forints (EUR 910) from Budapest residents, based on average salary calculations, the group leader of Fidesz–Christian Democrats in the Budapest City General Assembly said on Tuesday.

Alexandra Szentkirályi wrote on Facebook that if the “Tisza tax” were introduced, many Hungarians would struggle to meet everyday expenses such as replacing a boiler, a car or mobile phones.

She added that the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was “the government of low taxes” and that the ruling Fidesz party was “the party of tax allowances”.

Péter Magyar’s reaction

Péter Magyar denied that he would introduce a personal income tax increase if elected in April 2026. Instead, he pledged that Hungarians would pay lower income tax than they do now and would be able to purchase healthier food and basic medicines at more affordable prices.

At the same time, he declared that the oligarchs of the Orbán cabinet would face extra taxes on their private jets, yachts, estates and casinos.
