TAX OFFICE LIFTS STOPPED TO SAVE MONEY

Handdryers are disconnected in toilets, lifts are stopped – this situation characterizes the Hungarian Tax Office (APEH) which has to economize as its budget is 25 pc less this year. The employees’ wages can be reduced even by 40-50 pc which may affect the result of the work, though even 1 pc loss of income from taxes means a loss of HUF 60 billion for the state treasury.
