The Fixed Assets register applies to the itemised entrepreneurial income tax (VSZJA) tax form.
If a business asset’s purchase price reaches or exceeds HUF 200,000, it cannot be deducted in one go under Hungarian law (SZJA Act, Annex 11) — it must be depreciated over several years instead.

Where to find it

Under Records → Fixed Assets, at the /nyilvantartasok/eszkozok page.

Adding a new asset

Click New Asset and enter:
  • Name
  • Purchase date
  • Purchase price (HUF)
  • Depreciation rate — four quick-pick buttons help: 33% (IT equipment), 20% (furniture, office), 14.5% (machinery, vehicle), 2% (building)
  • Business-use ratio (%) — if the asset isn’t used 100% for business (e.g. a car), adjust with the slider
  • Note (optional)

AI rate suggestion

As you start typing the asset’s name, Penzum tries to guess the correct depreciation rate — first via simple keyword matching (e.g. “laptop” → 33%), and if that finds no match, an AI suggestion is generated and fills the field automatically (labeled “Automatic” or “AI suggestion”). You can always override the suggested rate. The form shows a live-computed estimated annual depreciation (purchase price × business ratio × rate).

Adding an asset from an expense

You can start this from two places:
  1. On the Fixed Assets page — the “Assets importable from expenses” panel lists expenses over HUF 200,000 that haven’t been converted to an asset yet, with an Import button that pre-fills the new-asset form (you’ll still need to set the rate and business ratio).
  2. On the Expenses page — when you record an expense over HUF 200,000 under the VSZJA tax form, Penzum offers: “This expense exceeds the HUF 200,000 threshold — consider adding it to your fixed assets.” If you accept, the expense automatically converts to an asset, and is excluded from regular, one-time deductible expenses — from then on, only its yearly depreciation counts as a cost.

List and tracking

Each asset shows its purchase date, value, rate, business ratio (if under 100%), this year’s depreciation, and a depreciation progress bar showing what percentage of the purchase price has been written off so far. Fully depreciated assets show “Fully depreciated” and stop generating further depreciation. See also Withdrawal Log and Expenses.
