e-Invoicing Hungary

New regulations on e-Invoicing come into force in Hungary

The world of e-invoicing and its international regulations are constantly changing. Starting from the 1st of April 2020, the tax authority in Hungary will accept only the new XML version 2.0, and reject all invoices without processing sent through the current version 1.1.
Be aware: The penalties for non-compliance can generate high fines for your company.

Besides the layout change, the NAV announced to eliminate the current limit for invoices (over HUF 100.000 in VAT), which means affected businesses must declare ALL their invoices. This change will become mandatory starting from 1st July 2020.
