Hungary has developed an extensive digital invoicing and tax reporting environment, centred around the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) and its Online Invoice system.

There is currently no general requirement for businesses to issue structured electronic invoices in domestic B2B transactions. However, invoice data falling within the Hungarian VAT reporting rules must be reported electronically to NAV, making automated invoice data exchange an important part of the country’s tax compliance framework.

Businesses issuing invoices that fall within the scope of Hungary’s VAT invoicing rules are generally required to report the relevant invoice data to NAV through the Online Invoice system.

The reporting requirement extends beyond domestic B2B transactions and covers a broad range of invoices. While businesses may use electronic invoicing voluntarily, the obligation to report invoice data to NAV should be distinguished from a requirement to exchange the invoice itself electronically.

Hungary requires invoice data covered by its VAT reporting rules to be transmitted electronically to NAV. For invoices generated by invoicing software, this reporting can be integrated directly into the invoicing process, enabling invoice information to be transmitted automatically.

Electronic invoicing itself remains generally voluntary for B2B transactions. Businesses choosing to exchange electronic invoices must nevertheless ensure that invoices comply with the applicable Hungarian VAT and invoicing requirements.

Hungary’s digital invoice reporting infrastructure is centred around NAV’s Online Invoice system, which receives invoice data electronically from businesses and invoicing systems.

Structured electronic invoices can also be used voluntarily between businesses. For public procurement, Hungarian public contracting authorities are required to be able to receive and process electronic invoices compliant with the European EN 16931 standard, although suppliers aren't generally required to issue them electronically.

iEDI does not currently offer country-specific e-invoicing support for Hungary.

iEDI supports structured electronic document exchange across a growing number of international markets and connects existing ERP and business systems without requiring businesses to replace their existing setup.
