Internet tax in Hungary 0.6 USD after every GB data - GoFuckYourself.com

Matyko · 10-21-2014, 02:47 PM

Heya,

What a funny country I live in: the gov today officially announced that from 1st Jan 2015 they will tax internet, based on data transfers: 150 HUF [approx 0.6 USD] per GB.

All hungarian online news are about this at the moment..

The reason: nowadays people much more tend to use skype or viber instead of making classic [gsm] phonecalls..

Stupid, isn't it?

This FB page against the new tax just started today - gets 20-25 likes every second, and we are a small 10m country :P

OOOOOH and meanwhile the head of the hungarian IDS got banned from the Unites States along with 5 other unnamed government members.

Mickey_ · 10-21-2014, 04:06 PM

There's quite a bit of media hysteria surrounding this ("the sky is falling!"=pageviews), but keep calm, it's expected to be capped at a couple of dollars per month for private users and most likely $20 for businesses.

Not saying it's the right direction at all, just that the media is sensationalizing it as usual.

Also, as far as I know the law has yet to be passed and there are signs of opposition (not just civil).

yea no shit. considering the price for this data is going down, increasing the price or changing it is a pure money grab.

furthermore, it's a direct attack on how we all feed ourselves. anyone in this business who thinks this is a good idea, needs a good long think about what they want the future to be.

tear the government down. seriously.

$.60/GB is more than transfer has cost in a long time.
That rate is way too high. I could maybe understand $.06/GB but even so, that is high.

it's capped at 700HUF/month (?2.3). not a big deal.

In times of need, the sheep cannot act on their own, as most can never think for themselves at any given time. That's why it's the easiest for a strong, authoritative figure to rise to power in such times, as people believe he'll straighten out shit.

pimpmaster9000 · 10-22-2014, 07:50 AM

tax data transfer? this would make porn a multi billion $$ industry again since tubes would go down the shitter fast :D

Tasty1 · 10-22-2014, 08:16 AM

Ah, they want double. There is already VAT you pay to your provider i think.
Maybe they must split it to get the people accepting it.

Like first: only exta tax on porn (the church will love it). Than move to extra tax on playing online games (parents will love it) and than tax on using dating websites and in the end, tax it all! That is how politicians like to do it. Just like an internet filter for CP, than for all porn, and than for everything the government don't like, or you can only access if you pay extra tax. And in the mean time they watch over your shoulder to look what you are doing online. I hope i don't give them ideas.

That's about what I heard as well. Actually their internet prices there are far below what many of us in America have to pay. I'd gladly pay an extra $5 a month to have the rates they are paying in Hungary.

Cherry7 · 10-22-2014, 01:33 PM

Tax is not bad.

Taxes can be very good. Look at countries with high taxation they are some of the best countries in the World to live in.

Of course if like the USA you spend all your tax on foreign wars and let your cities go to shit taxes are wasted.

But a tax on internet usage funded into support for home grown movie making, journalism, music making would go a long way to refunding areas destroyed by illegal usage by Google.

spads · 10-22-2014, 03:38 PM

It's not surprising at all that this is happening in Hungary. It's a country run almost entirely by neo-nazi thugs. When your talking points are a bunch of nationalist garbage, restricting information is the most effective way of getting the masses on your side.

You're joking right? Of course it's cheaper than it is in the US. The average salary in Budapest is like $700 after taxes and that's the financial capital of the country.
