Bilateral APA – HUF 4,000,000 (approx. EUR 12,420)

Multilateral APA – HUF 2,000,000 (approx. EUR 6,210) per participant jurisdiction

In the case of proceedings for APA extension or modification, the fee is 50 percent of the fee paid in the original procedure. If the APA request is rejected or withdrawn, the HTA returns 85 percent of the fee already paid pertaining to the APA procedure. The pre-filing consultation is subject to an administrative fee. The fee for a pre-filing consultation is HUF500,000 (approx. USD1,780) per each consultation.
