What the document holds

GVH web page (undated, current at 2026-10-05): 13 questions and answers on the informant reward under Tpvt. s. 79/A. Covers why rewards are paid; what a hardcore cartel is; which evidence qualifies (indispensable written evidence, or information enabling a court-authorised dawn raid that finds such evidence); who may inform (any natural person); exclusions (staff of a prior leniency applicant, evidence obtained by crime or petty offence, evidence split to multiply rewards, no fine imposed incl. cases taken over by the European Commission, breach of GVH-ordered cooperation); criminal-law context (Criminal Code s. 420: 1-5 years for bid-rigging cartels; immunity only for those reporting first to criminal authorities or under a corporate leniency application: out of scope); contact details (Detection Office, anonymous enquiry and Kartell Chat); procedure (anonymous prior enquiry; 5-day deadline to claim after notification; separate order if evidence unsuitable; preliminary assessments not binding); decision within 30 days of the closing decision and payment due 30 days after the order is final; amount 1% of all fines in the case, max HUF 50 million, free of personal income tax; not reclaimable if a court later cuts the fine unless the evidence proves unlawful through the informant's fault; one reward per person per case, separate rewards for separate people; informant may be heard as a witness and can ask for sealed identity data. No statistics. Anonymous filing of a reward claim is not provided (only anonymous enquiries; identity can be sealed), so no anonymous_filing row. Rules extracted: pct min/max, filing deadline, decision and payment deadlines, tax exemption, leniency-staff exclusion (cap already in data). Rules restated from other sources are now recorded from this document too (decision 8).
