Hungary Unveils Roadmap for Mandatory E-Invoicing Under EU VAT in the Digital Age Directive

• Hungary will mandate structured electronic invoicing for most domestic and cross-border B2B and B2G transactions under the EU’s ViDA directive.
• Different invoice issuance deadlines will apply: 10 days for intra-EU transactions and 8 days for domestic transactions.
• Paper invoices will only be allowed for transactions with private consumers and non-EU customers; electronic invoicing remains optional in these cases.
• Buyers must report invoice data to tax authorities within five days of receipt, enabling dual-reporting and cross-checking.
• Invoices must comply with the EU EN 16931 standard, be transmitted securely (not by email), and suppliers must validate buyers’ tax numbers before sending invoices; PEPPOL network support will be optional.
