Who can claim a diesel excise tax refund?

Any company established in any EU Member State, Norway, Liechtenstein, Switzerland or Iceland that engages in road freight transport or passenger transport at its own cost or for payment using lorries with a laden mass of at least 7.5 tonnes or buses with more than 8 seats and which purchases a significant volume of diesel for its vehicles in Hungary.

How much can be claimed back?

Currently HUF 11 per litre for diesel purchased for the above vehicles. This can be particular attractive for businesses operating several vehicles and that purchase diesel using a fuel card or for cash at Hungarian filling stations.
