The cabinet office of the self-government provided up-to-date information on the upcoming terrace opening on Wednesday afternoon. Below we publish the notice sent to our page.
On the conditions of operating the restaurant terraces in Debrecen
According to the government decree on certain emergency measures, if the number of people vaccinated with the first dose of COVID-19 in the country reaches 3.5 million, the terraces of the restaurants can be opened in the spirit of reopening.
According to the currently valid provision of the Local Government of the City of Debrecen, in Debrecen, restaurants and cafés can use the public areas where terraces operate free of charge until 15 November 2020 until 31 December 2021. This discount was already provided by the municipality for catering shops from 1 April to 30 June 2020.
As soon as the government allows the opening, the catering shops in Debrecen, which have previously operated a terrace in the public area with the permission of the municipality, can open them at any time under unchanged conditions.
Undertakings wishing to expand their existing terraces in the public area or to create a new terrace using the possibility provided for in the government decree may apply for a permit from the Debrecen Public Area Inspectorate in accordance with the relevant local government regulations.

Thus, based on the decision of the Government of Hungary, the local business tax of small and medium-sized enterprises was halved in 2021 in view of the coronavirus epidemic.
