Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Use a Hungary estimate to price goods or services before the buyer accepts the work. The document should identify the supplier, the customer, the offer date, the quoted items, quantities, unit prices, discounts, expected VAT treatment, payment terms, and validity period. It is not the final VAT invoice, but it should carry the same commercial detail you will need later.
Hungarian invoicing rules come from Act CXXVII of 2007 on VAT and NTCA guidance. Once the estimate becomes a taxable supply that requires an invoice, the invoice must include a unique sequential number, issue date, party identification, line-item tax bases, VAT rates, VAT amounts, and special-regime wording where applicable.
Start with names, addresses, supplier tax number, and the customer's tax number if the later invoice falls into reverse-charge, intra-Community, or domestic taxable-customer cases specified by the VAT Act. Add each line item with a measurable quantity, unit price excluding tax, discount, tax base, expected tax rate, and a short description specific enough for the buyer to approve.
A service estimate can show one line for "Implementation consulting, 12 hours, HUF 22,000 per hour, taxable amount HUF 264,000, expected VAT 27%." Hungary's general VAT rate is 27% of the taxable amount, while 0%, 5%, and 18% rates apply only to goods and services listed in the VAT Act.
Hungary uses VAT rather than sales tax, so the estimate should separate net prices, VAT treatment, and gross totals before the buyer approves the work. A domestic VAT invoice must show output VAT payable in HUF even if other invoice details use another currency. Estimates can mirror that layout so the accepted invoice does not need a currency correction.
Language and delivery choices also affect the later workflow. Invoices may be issued in Hungarian or any spoken foreign language, but an official Hungarian translation may be required during a tax audit. Electronic invoicing requires the recipient's consent, and EDI-based electronic invoicing requires a prior written agreement between the parties.
A free estimate template is enough for a one-off quote, a small fixed-fee job, or a buyer who only needs a PDF before issuing a purchase order. Keep the estimate number separate from the final invoice number, confirm VAT treatment before acceptance, and update the final invoice with the actual supply date and invoice issue date.
A managed workflow matters once quoted work depends on hourly rates, people, projects, or dated rate changes. Everhour separates cost and billable rates, supports per-person defaults and per-project overrides, and preserves dated rate history. That structure keeps approved project work aligned with the amount you quote and later invoice.

A Hungary estimate is an offer or quote, not the VAT invoice for a completed taxable supply. The final invoice must follow Act CXXVII of 2007 on VAT, including the issue date, unique sequential invoice number, supplier tax number, customer details, tax base, VAT rate, and output VAT amount where applicable.
A Hungary estimate should show expected VAT treatment clearly enough for buyer approval, especially net amounts, expected VAT rate, VAT amount, and gross total. The final invoice controls the legal VAT record, so confirm that the goods or services qualify for the selected 27%, 18%, 5%, 0%, or exempt treatment before invoicing.
A Hungary estimate should prepare for the invoice rule that domestic VAT invoices must show output VAT payable in HUF. The commercial estimate can include another currency for pricing, but the VAT amount should be easy to convert and verify before the final invoice is issued.
A Hungary estimate can be sent electronically as a commercial document. For the later invoice, Hungarian rules allow paper-based or electronic invoices, but electronic invoicing requires the recipient's consent. EDI-based electronic invoicing also requires a prior written agreement between the parties.
The common mistake is quoting a broad total without tax base, VAT treatment, item description, quantity, and buyer identification. That forces manual reconstruction when the invoice is due. Hungarian invoice data also falls under NTCA online reporting once the document is an invoice within the VAT Act scope.
Everhour separates internal cost rates from client-facing billable rates, with default per-person rates and per-project overrides. Rate changes can be dated, so older work keeps its original calculation while new approved work uses the current rate for cleaner estimate and invoice preparation.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing turns tracked billable time and expenses into client invoices. Users can select uninvoiced time, preview the breakdown, group line items by project, task, person, or date, and keep invoiced time from appearing again in a later invoice.
Set project, member, or task rates before work starts, then use approved billable time to support accurate client billing with Everhour.
