Use this page to prepare a clear invoice for goods or services supplied in Hungary, especially when you need the invoice to match local VAT expectations. A useful invoice identifies the supplier, customer, taxable supply, VAT treatment, payment terms, and total due without forcing the client or accountant to chase missing context.
Hungarian invoicing is governed by Act CXXVII of 2007 on VAT and NTCA rules. Hungarian VAT-taxable persons must ensure that an invoice is issued for supplies of goods or services made in Hungary for consideration, unless a specific VAT Act exemption allows another document or receipt treatment.
A Hungarian VAT invoice must include the issue date and a sequential number that uniquely identifies the invoice. Invoicing software must allocate consecutive serial numbers without omission or repetition. The invoice also needs the supplier's tax number, full name and address, the customer's full name and address, and the customer's tax number in reverse-charge, intra-Community, or domestic taxable-customer cases specified by the VAT Act.
Line details carry the tax logic. Include 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's general VAT rate is 27%, with 0%, 5%, and 18% rates only for goods and services listed in the VAT Act.
Hungary's currency is the Hungarian forint. A domestic VAT invoice must show output VAT payable in HUF even if the invoice lists other amounts in 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.
Hungarian invoicing software must support online data disclosure to NTCA. 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. Electronic invoicing is allowed only with the recipient's consent.
A one-off invoice works when the billing event is simple: one client, a known supply date, a clear VAT treatment, and no ongoing project time to reconcile. It is enough for a freelancer sending a single service invoice or a business documenting a straightforward sale with all required Hungary fields filled in.
A managed workflow fits recurring client work, mixed billable and non-billable tasks, custom rates, and projects where time must feed billing. 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.

A Hungarian VAT invoice needs the issue date, a unique sequential invoice number, supplier tax number, supplier and customer names and addresses, and the customer's tax number in specified reverse-charge, intra-Community, or domestic taxable-customer cases. It also needs line-item supply data, including taxable amount, unit price excluding tax, applied VAT rate, output VAT amount, and exemption reference where applicable.
Hungary's general VAT rate is 27% of the taxable amount. The 0%, 5%, and 18% rates apply only to goods and services listed in the VAT Act, and some public-interest or special-nature activities are exempt. Select the rate based on the supply, not on the client's preference or the invoice template default.
A domestic VAT invoice must show output VAT payable in HUF, even when the invoice uses another currency for prices, totals, or commercial terms. This is a common mistake on cross-border or foreign-language invoices. The invoice can still include the other currency, but the HUF VAT amount must be present.
Hungarian invoices may be paper-based or electronic. Electronic invoicing requires the recipient's consent, and EDI-based electronic invoicing also requires a prior written agreement between the parties. The format choice does not remove VAT content requirements or online invoice reporting obligations for invoices within the VAT Act scope.
EU late-payment rules apply across member states. Enterprises must pay invoices within 60 days unless the parties expressly agree otherwise and the term is not grossly unfair. Public authorities generally must pay within 30 days, with very exceptional 60-day cases. State the due date clearly so payment timing is enforceable and easy to follow.
Everhour lets admins set project billing status, mark specific tasks as non-billable, use custom task rates, and set member-rate exceptions. Admin reports can show billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost, so the invoice total reflects only client-chargeable work.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts uninvoiced billable time and expenses into invoices, using project or member rates while excluding non-billable work. Invoice line items can be grouped by project, task, person, date, or another available breakdown before export to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks.
Track chargeable work before invoice day. Everhour keeps billable and non-billable time visible by project, task, member, amount, and cost, giving teams cleaner client billing.
