- Hungary is phasing in mandatory eVAT (eÁFA) VAT return filing, replacing the traditional ÁNYK system; NAV proposed a staged rollout with largest taxpayers moving during 2027 and most other VAT filers from 1 January 2028, subject to final confirmation.
- eVAT allows VAT returns to be prepared, validated, and submitted using NAV-held transaction-level data, either through a web interface or via machine-to-machine (M2M) API/XML integration from accounting/ERP systems.
- A technical requirement already in force: M2M submissions in production must use XSD version 2.0 from 3 August 2026; earlier 1.0 schemas are no longer accepted in production.
- eVAT is separate from Hungary’s real-time invoice reporting regime; it is a VAT return filing tool, not an e-invoicing or invoice-clearance mandate.
