The tax exemption for mothers with two or more children was announced on February 22, 2025 - it was an announcement of a planned measure rather than an already-implemented policy at the time of announcement
Previously, from October 1, 2024, only mothers with three or more children were exempt from personal income tax
The policy was announced as a 'lifetime' exemption, which is an important qualification
The measure was announced in the context of upcoming elections, suggesting political timing considerations
The Reuters source is from February 22, 2025, after the announcement; official implementation details and effective dates would require verification from Hungarian government sources
