Use this page when you need to prepare an invoice for goods or services supplied in Hungary, especially when the client expects a clear VAT invoice rather than a casual payment request. Hungarian VAT-taxable persons must ensure 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 practical job is straightforward: identify the supplier and customer, describe the work or goods, apply the correct VAT treatment, show the amount payable, and keep the invoice traceable. Hungary uses VAT rather than sales tax, and the domestic VAT amount must be shown in Hungarian forint even when other invoice details use another currency.
A Hungarian VAT invoice must include the issue date and a unique sequential number. Invoicing software must allocate consecutive serial numbers without omission or repetition, so manual numbering needs careful control. Party details also matter: include the supplier tax number, supplier name and address, customer name and address, and the customer tax number when the VAT Act requires it.
Line items need enough detail to support the taxable amount. Include the goods or service name, quantity where measurable, supply or advance date if it differs from the issue date, unit price excluding tax, taxable amount, discounts not included in the unit price, applied tax rate, output VAT amount, and any 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 Act CXXVII of 2007 on VAT, and exemptions apply to specified public-interest or special-nature activities. Select the tax treatment from the actual supply, not from the customer's preference or a copied prior invoice.
Invoice data reporting to the National Tax and Customs Administration, NTCA, is part of the workflow for invoices within the VAT Act scope. Hungarian invoicing software must support online data disclosure to NTCA, with software-issued invoice data reported immediately through a machine-to-machine connection. Printed-form invoices have separate reporting deadlines, including a 1-day deadline when invoice VAT reaches or exceeds HUF 500,000.
A free invoice tool is enough when you need a single document, already know the VAT treatment, and can handle numbering, records, and NTCA reporting separately. It also works for a draft invoice that your accountant or local tax adviser reviews before sending. The tool should leave you with a clean invoice, not a vague estimate.
A managed workflow becomes better when invoices come from tracked client work. Everhour can keep billable and non-billable time separate through project billing status, task-level non-billable controls, custom task rates, member-rate exceptions, and admin reports with billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost. That structure helps teams turn approved work into invoice totals without rebuilding timesheets by hand.

Act CXXVII of 2007 on VAT governs Hungarian VAT invoicing, along with NTCA rules and guidance. It sets the invoice obligation, required invoice content, VAT treatment, and reporting context for invoices within the VAT Act scope. Business terms can affect payment timing, but they do not replace the invoice fields required for VAT purposes.
A domestic VAT invoice must show output VAT payable in HUF, even when the invoice uses another currency for prices or totals. Hungary's currency is the Hungarian forint. The invoice can still show foreign-currency commercial amounts, but the VAT amount payable for domestic VAT purposes must appear in HUF.
Hungarian invoices may be issued in Hungarian or any spoken foreign language. During a tax audit, an official Hungarian translation may be required. Use clear labels for VAT rate, taxable amount, VAT amount, supply date, payment terms, and party tax numbers so the document remains understandable to the recipient and reviewer.
Late invoice issuance creates avoidable risk. 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. Match the issue date to the correct deadline category.
Hungarian invoices may be paper-based or electronic, but electronic invoicing requires the recipient's consent. EDI-based electronic invoicing also requires a prior written agreement between the parties. Treat the delivery method as part of the invoice process, not an afterthought added after the document is created.
Everhour supports billable and non-billable time through project billing status, task-level non-billable controls, custom task rates, and member-rate exceptions. Admin reports can show billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost, so invoice preparation starts from classified work rather than mixed time entries.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing lets users select uninvoiced time and expenses, preview the breakdown, and generate an invoice from billable time, project or member rates, and billable expenses. The system marks invoiced time as invoiced, so the same work does not appear again in a later invoice.
Track approved hours, separate billable from non-billable work, and keep invoice totals tied to project records. Everhour gives teams cleaner billing inputs before Hungary-specific tax review and invoicing.
