The Megyeri inn did not pay the contributions, which is why, despite receiving a salary subsidy, the tax authority transferred the entire amount to the public debt. According to a tax expert, even if the state demands money from a company, it should not jeopardize workers’ pay.

It wasn’t long before the owners of the Megyeri Inn could be happy to receive the state wage subsidy promised to restaurants.

the transferred amount was immediately withdrawn by the tax authorities due to arrears of previous contributions

Dániel Lepsis, managing director of the company, admitted that he had really lagged behind from the restrictions: in the first wave he was able to pay “roughly” the contributions, but by November of last year, all his reserves had been depleted. After the purchase of raw materials, general expenses and payment to the workers, the payment of the sums owed to the State was only taken in fourth place, thus making the mistake. They requested the salary subsidy, but the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) sent them information that the total amount had been transferred to the public debt.

Tax expert József Angyal believes that NAV may have made a mistake. Even in an enforcement proceeding, workers’ wages are segregated into a separate subaccount and the company’s debts should not jeopardize employee pay, he explained.

There were four days left for those responsible for restaurants and leisure facilities to benefit from the state wage subsidy and the contribution discount. Besides the fact that even government contracts are expected to be scanned page by page from the government office, this program doesn’t really help them.
