Use this page to prepare a Hungary-focused invoice that can support a real sale of goods or services. 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. The invoice needs enough detail for the buyer, bookkeeper, and tax record.
A practical template gives you a finished document with seller details, buyer details, invoice numbering, supply date, line items, VAT treatment, totals, and payment terms. Hungary uses VAT rather than sales tax, so the tax line must follow the VAT treatment for the supply. Domestic VAT invoices must show output VAT payable in HUF, even when the commercial total uses another currency.
A Hungarian VAT invoice must include the date of issue and a sequential number that uniquely identifies the invoice. Invoicing software must allocate consecutive serial numbers without omission or repetition. The supplier's tax number, full name, and address belong on the invoice, along with the customer's full name and address. The customer's tax number is also required in reverse-charge, intra-Community, or domestic taxable-customer cases specified by the VAT Act.
Line items need 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% of the taxable amount, with 0%, 5%, and 18% rates applying only to goods and services listed in the VAT Act.
Hungarian invoicing is governed by Act CXXVII of 2007 on VAT and NTCA rules, so a generic invoice layout leaves important compliance gaps. Software-issued invoice data within the VAT Act scope must be reported immediately to NTCA 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.
Paper and electronic invoices are both allowed, but electronic invoicing requires the recipient's consent. EDI-based electronic invoicing also requires a prior written agreement between the parties. Invoices can be issued in Hungarian or any spoken foreign language, but an official Hungarian translation can be required during a tax audit. Enterprises generally pay invoices within 60 days under EU late-payment rules unless a fair written agreement says otherwise.
A free template is enough for a single invoice, a small correction, or a quick document that a bookkeeper can review before sending. It works best when the seller already knows the VAT treatment, has the buyer's correct tax details, and can keep invoice numbers, payment status, and supporting records organized outside the document.
A managed workflow fits recurring client work, hourly billing, reimbursed costs, and mixed billable or non-billable activity. Everhour supports 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 turn approved work records into invoice-ready totals without rebuilding the same billing detail by hand.

Each taxable line should show the item 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 VAT rate, output VAT amount, and any exemption reference. The VAT amount payable on a domestic VAT invoice must appear in HUF.
Hungary uses VAT, not sales tax. The 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, with exemptions for specified public-interest or special-nature activities. A template should label the tax line as VAT and keep the tax basis clear.
A Hungarian invoice can be issued in Hungarian or any spoken foreign language. During a tax audit, an official Hungarian translation can be required, so foreign-language invoices should keep field labels and line-item descriptions clear. Domestic VAT invoices still need output VAT payable shown in HUF, regardless of the invoice language.
Electronic invoicing in Hungary requires the recipient's consent. EDI-based electronic invoicing also requires a prior written agreement between the parties. A seller using invoicing software must also account for NTCA online invoice data reporting obligations for invoices within the VAT Act scope.
Start with the payment and completion facts. Invoices are generally issued immediately when consideration or an advance is paid by completion, within 8 days for other VAT-charged supplies, and by the 15th day of the following month for specified intra-Community exempt supplies and reverse-charge services.
Everhour lets admins set project billing status, mark specific tasks as non-billable, use custom task rates for time-and-materials projects, and set member-rate exceptions. Admin reports can show billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost so invoice preparation starts from categorized work records.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing turns tracked billable time and expenses into client invoices, with configurable line-item grouping by project, task, person, date, or other available breakdowns. After time is included in an invoice, Everhour marks it as invoiced so the same time does not appear again in a future invoice.
Track billable and non-billable work by project, task, rate, and person before invoice day. Everhour keeps billing records organized for cleaner client totals and faster invoice preparation.
