The Tisza Party, led by Péter Magyar, published its election programme on 7 February 2026. The party’s proposals include changes to Hungary’s tax structure and support for adopting the euro.

Founded in October 2020, the Tisza Party is an opposition group in Hungary. Its election programme sets out several policy measures intended to reshape the country’s economic framework.

The party supports Hungary joining the eurozone, stating that this would provide greater stability and predictability for markets, entrepreneurs, and citizens. According to the party’s published programme, this step is intended to address concerns about currency volatility and economic planning.

According to a leaked internal memo, the Tisza Party plans to replace the current flat personal income tax with a progressive system. The memo outlines three tax brackets: 15%, 22%, and 33%, which would apply to different income levels.

What the numbers show

  • Incomes under HUF 5 million would be taxed at 15%
  • Incomes between HUF 5 million and HUF 15 million would be taxed at 22%
  • Incomes above HUF 15 million would be taxed at 33%
  • A proposed wealth tax of 1% would apply to assets over HUF 5 billion
  • The party was founded in October 2020 and published its programme on 7 February 2026

The party’s tax proposals also include a one-percent wealth tax on assets exceeding HUF 5 billion. This measure is described in the party’s published programme as a way to address wealth concentration.

The leaked memo provides further details on the progressive tax plan, specifying the income thresholds for each bracket. The proposed structure would replace Hungary’s existing flat tax system if implemented.

The Tisza Party’s election programme brings together these tax and currency proposals as part of its policy platform. The party’s leadership has stated that these measures are intended to support economic stability and address income inequality.

The publication of the programme marks a formal step in the party’s preparations for upcoming elections. The outlined policies reflect the party’s approach to fiscal and monetary issues in Hungary.
