Give your 1% where it becomes a conversation.

Anyone who had taxable income in Hungary can direct 1% of their income tax. It costs nothing and takes a few minutes.

Below we walk you through when and how to do it, online and on paper.

This is the only detail you need 19378907-1-13 Tax number of the EgyüttÉrzés Pastoral Care Association The button puts the number on your clipboard, so you can paste it into your tax return.

When can you do it?

The year has three important points.

January – February

If your employer prepares your tax return

Tell your payroll administrator that you want to direct your 1%. You will get a separate declaration form; our tax number goes there.

From mid-March

If you file your own return

The tax authority (NAV) prepares a draft for you, available online from then on. A few clicks are enough to say who your 1% goes to.

Until 20 May

The deadline

This is the final deadline. After it you can no longer direct that year’s 1%, so it is better not to leave it to the last day.

How to set it up

There are two ways. Choose the one that is easier for you.

Both lead to the same place. If you are unsure, the paper route is perfectly fine too.

Online

On the NAV website

Open the nav.gov.hu website and sign in to the eSZJA (tax return) portal. You can sign in with Ügyfélkapu or the Digital Citizenship (DÁP) app.

Select your draft tax return and choose the edit option or “I wish to allocate my 1%”.

Paste our tax number into the 1% field for civil organisations. The button copies it for you with one click.

If asked, you may also enter our name: EgyüttÉrzés Lelkigondozói Egyesület. This is optional, the tax number is enough.

Submit the return. The system confirms it — and you are done, there is nothing else to do.

On paper

On a form or at your workplace

Ask for the “EGYSZA” declaration (the 1% form) at your workplace or download it from the NAV website.

Write our tax number in the civil organisation row, legibly, including the hyphens.

Sign it and put it in a sealed envelope showing your name, address and tax identification number.

Hand it in to your workplace administrator or post it to NAV by 20 May.

„It costs nothing, yet for someone it becomes a whole conversation.”

Frequently asked questions

What is worth knowing.

Nothing. The same amount of tax is deducted whatever you decide. The 1% either goes to a civil organisation or stays in the state budget.

The deadline for filing your personal income tax return, which is usually 20 May. If your employer prepares your return, it is worth telling them in January or February.

Yes, if you had taxable income in that year, for example wages or rental income. A pension on its own is not taxable, so there is no 1% from it.

Only our tax number: 19378907-1-13. Writing the name (EgyüttÉrzés Lelkigondozói Egyesület) is not compulsory, but it does no harm.

Yes, the declaration applies to one tax year. If you did it this year, it is worth repeating next year.

Normally not: we receive the amount anonymously. We only learn your details if you give separate consent to that in the declaration.

Then the declaration is invalid and the 1% stays in the state budget. That is why we recommend the copy button, so it cannot be mistyped.

For the online route, yes (or Digital Citizen identification). If you do not have one, the paper form is just as valid, and you can hand it in at your workplace too.
