Hungary’s President has signed Law No. XLIII of 2024, officially ratifying the new Country-by-Country (CbC) reports exchange agreement with the US.

The ratification was published in the Official Gazette No. 113 (Magyar Közlöny) on 13 November 2024.

This follows after Hungary’s parliament’s approval of the 2024 Hungary-US Agreement on the Automatic Exchange of Country-By-Country (CbC) Reports on 4 November 2024. The CbC agreement was signed by Hungary on 15 July 2024, and by the US on 1 August 2024.

Earlier, on 8 January 2023,  the 2018 agreement between the US and Hungary was terminated six months after the US notified Hungary of ending the 1979 tax treaty. Since then, both countries have started spontaneously exchanging Country-by-Country (CbC) reports.
