If you want to do things legally, there's too much stupid paperwork and the biggest crooks of all here are accountants and solicitors.
It might be OK, if you just provide a service here, but forget making any profit in the country.

Anyway, I'm surprised about what you said about their working mentality. Does this apply to Budapest only?

Hungary sucks because of crazy taxes and paperwork and if they local IRS called APEH wants to fuck you, they will. The paperwork is so complicated that its impossible to not make at least small mistakes. 10mill country w 20-30k accounting services/accountants!!!! Crazyyyy...
As a young hippy I loved Budapest, but as a parent I fucking hate it and left it 3 years ago. That was a very good decision, now I am living ~90km from capital city, in a 100k city [Kecskemet]. The people are much nicer, wages are way lower and you can find skilled and hard working manpower.
So working morals/mentality is not the problem. People here are the biggest whiners /crybabies ever and its fucking annoying and makes you depressed slowly.. This is the result of bad politics since we have democracy: nobody told ppl that the system change doesn't mean we'll have a GDP like Austria within a few years, but we have to work hard for a few decades to get only closer to it...
We haven't mentioned Romania so far, I must tell you I am surprised how good the young fellows speak english.
Bottom line: its a good idea to bring your biz to mid/east EU.
