Hungary's 2017 corporate-tax reform, enacted via 2016. évi LXXXII. törvény, replaced the dual 10/19% structure with a flat 9% rate from 1 January 2017 — the lowest headline corporate rate in the EU. Combined with sectoral surtaxes on banking, retail, telecoms and energy (the 'Orbanomics' tax mix), the intended effect was to attract FDI manufacturing investment, cut SME tax burdens, and finance unorthodox spending while shifting the tax base from corporate income to consumption (27% VAT) and special sectors.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
