- Hungary is planning to introduce mandatory e-invoicing and real-time reporting for domestic B2B, intra-EU B2B, and B2G transactions, as part of implementing the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) package.
- Paper invoices will still be allowed for B2C and non-EU transactions, but all invoices must be created in XML format compliant with the EN 16931 standard.
- Real-time reporting will be required for both sellers (in real-time) and buyers (within 5 days of receipt) for relevant transactions, with additional status reporting by buyers at the VAT return deadline.
- Hungary will use a five-corner model involving sellers, buyers, their service providers, and the tax authority, and will join the PEPPOL network for secure invoice transmission (PEPPOL use is optional).
- All invoicing software must be accredited through a self-service process to ensure compliance with technical and legal requirements.
