The Hungarian government is expected to submit its draft bill on next year’s budget to Parliament on 26 April, said Lajos Kósa, caucus leader of the ruling Fidesz party, told a press conference on Tuesday.

He said Fidesz refuses to hike taxes and wants laws that ensure lower tax burdens for Hungarians.

He said the party endorses the reduction of VAT on fish, and it would like to lower several other levies, provided it does not put the balance of the budget in jeopardy.
