Use this page when you need to send a Hungarian invoice by email and want the attached document to stand up as the billing record. The practical job is simple: prepare the invoice, confirm the recipient accepts electronic invoicing, attach the file, and write a short payment email that matches the terms on the invoice.
Hungarian VAT-taxable persons must ensure that an invoice is issued for VAT-taxable supplies made in Hungary for consideration, unless a specific VAT Act exemption allows another document or receipt treatment. The governing framework is Act CXXVII of 2007 on VAT, with invoice reporting rules administered by the National Tax and Customs Administration, NTCA.
A Hungarian VAT invoice needs the issue date and a unique sequential number. Invoicing software must allocate consecutive serial numbers without omission or repetition, so the file you email should already carry the final invoice number. Add the supplier tax number, supplier name and address, customer name and address, and the customer's tax number when the VAT Act requires it.
Each line needs the goods or service name, quantity where measurable, supply or advance date if different from the issue date, taxable amount, unit price excluding tax, discounts not included in the unit price, applied tax rate, output VAT amount, and exemption reference where applicable. Hungary uses VAT, with a 27% general rate and selected 0%, 5%, and 18% rates only for listed goods and services.
Hungarian invoices may be paper-based or electronic, but electronic invoicing requires the recipient's consent. Treat consent as part of the customer setup, not as an afterthought in the email thread. EDI-based electronic invoicing also requires a prior written agreement between the parties, so a routine PDF email and an EDI exchange do not use the same approval path.
Hungary's currency is the Hungarian forint. A domestic VAT invoice must show output VAT payable in HUF even when other invoice details use another currency. Invoices may be issued in Hungarian or any spoken foreign language, but an official Hungarian translation may be required during a tax audit. For B2B payment terms, EU late-payment rules set a 60-day baseline unless the parties expressly agree otherwise and the term is not grossly unfair.
A one-off email invoice works when you have the customer details, VAT treatment, line items, payment term, and recipient consent ready before sending. It is enough for a small job, a corrected invoice, or a client that only needs a PDF and clear payment instructions.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when billable time feeds the invoice. Everhour supports billable and non-billable time through project billing status, task-level non-billable controls, custom task rates, member-rate exceptions, and admin reports for billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost. That structure helps keep invoiceable work separate from internal work before billing starts.

Yes. Hungarian invoices may be issued electronically, but electronic invoicing requires the recipient's consent. Keep that consent with the customer record or contract so the email delivery method has support if the invoice is later reviewed. EDI-based electronic invoicing has an additional requirement: the parties need a prior written agreement.
Use the VAT rate that applies to the specific goods or services under the Hungarian VAT Act. Hungary's general VAT rate is 27% of the taxable amount. The 0%, 5%, and 18% rates apply only to listed goods and services, and exemptions apply only to specified public-interest or special-nature activities.
Yes. A domestic Hungarian VAT invoice must show output VAT payable in HUF, even when other invoice details use another currency. This prevents a common mistake: sending a foreign-currency invoice that shows the net amount and total clearly but leaves the Hungarian VAT amount outside HUF.
Invoices are generally issued immediately when consideration or an advance is paid by completion. Other VAT-charged supplies generally require the invoice within 8 days. Specified intra-Community exempt supplies and reverse-charge services use a deadline of the 15th day of the following month.
No. Hungarian invoicing software must support online data disclosure to NTCA for invoices within the VAT Act scope. Software-issued invoice data is reported immediately through a machine-to-machine connection. Printed-form invoices are reported within 4 days, or within 1 day when invoice VAT reaches or exceeds HUF 500,000.
Everhour lets admins set billing status at the project level, mark specific tasks as non-billable, set custom task rates, and use member-rate exceptions. Admin reports can show billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost, so the invoice total starts from reviewed work instead of mixed time entries.
Track billable and non-billable work before the invoice is drafted. Everhour keeps rates, task billing status, and admin billing reports connected, so client invoices reflect approved billable work.
