Could you tell me why Hungary's IRS keeps track of Scientologists? Do they consider it a religion?

The Hungarian "IRS" doesn't track the Scientologists, at least not that I know. But in Hungary you can give every year 1% of your income-tax to any Church. Of course, the Hungarian "Church" of Scientology pushes all the Scientologists very hard to get the 1% from everyone. It doesn't costs them any money, so we can safely say that the hardcore Scientologists, the staffs and the Sea Org members do it.
The Hungarian "IRS" collects all the income-taxes and gives the 1% of it to the Churces. It releases every year a document with the data of how many people gave how much money (from the 1% of the income-taxes) to which churches.
These are the statistics of the Hungarian "IRS" about people who paid 1% of their tax to the "Church" of Scientology.
2002: 840 persons : 3368400 HUF = $17,150 = 12,250 Euro
2003: 833 persons : 3568392 HUF = $18,160 = 11,980 Euro
2004: 1034 persons : 4109757 HUF = $20,910 = 14,950 Euro
2005: 880 persons : 4154000 HUF = $21,130 = 15,110 Euro
2006: 1263 persons : 5727350 HUF = $29,150 = 20,830 Euro
2007: 1155 persons : 5645974 HUF = $28,720 = 20.530 Euro
2008: Not known yet.
