Use this page to create an invoice for work billed to or from Hungary, especially when you need the document to match Hungarian VAT expectations. The practical goal is a client-ready invoice with the supplier, customer, line items, tax base, VAT treatment, currency details, payment terms, and issue timing in the right places.
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. That scope matters before you choose a receipt, simplified invoice, paper invoice, or electronic invoice.
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, plus the customer's full name and address.
Line items need enough detail to support the tax calculation. 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 unit price, applied tax rate, output VAT amount, and exemption reference where applicable.
Hungary uses VAT rather than sales tax. The 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. Exemptions apply to specified public-interest or special-nature activities, so the invoice needs the correct VAT rate, exemption reference, or reverse-charge wording for the transaction.
Hungary's currency is the Hungarian forint. A domestic VAT invoice must show output VAT payable in HUF even if the rest of the invoice uses another currency. Hungarian invoicing software must support online data disclosure to NTCA, with software-issued invoice data reported immediately by machine-to-machine connection for invoices within the VAT Act scope.
A one-off invoice tool is enough when you need a single invoice, know the VAT treatment, have the client details, and can keep the issued document with your accounting records. It also works for occasional projects where the invoice lines are simple and no one needs to approve time, expenses, or billing rates before sending.
A managed workflow fits recurring client work. Everhour Billing & Invoicing turns tracked billable time and expenses into client invoices, calculates invoice amounts from rates while excluding non-billable tasks, and supports client settings such as taxes, discounts, and payment terms. Invoices can be exported to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks, with status details synced back to Everhour.

Hungary uses VAT, not sales tax. The 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. Some public-interest or special-nature activities are exempt, and the invoice should show the correct rate, exemption reference, or special-regime wording.
A Hungarian VAT invoice needs the supplier's tax number, full name, and address. It also needs the customer's full name and address. The customer's tax number is required in reverse-charge, intra-Community, or domestic taxable-customer cases specified by the VAT Act, so customer tax status changes the required fields.
A domestic VAT invoice must show output VAT payable in HUF, even when other invoice details use another currency. For example, an invoice priced in euros still needs the VAT amount shown in Hungarian forints. The invoice may be issued in Hungarian or any spoken foreign language, although an official Hungarian translation may be required during a tax audit.
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 follow a separate deadline, generally within 4 days or within 1 day when invoice VAT reaches or exceeds HUF 500,000.
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. That consent requirement is separate from the invoice's VAT content, numbering, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts tracked billable time and expenses into invoices, calculates amounts from rates, and excludes non-billable tasks from billable totals. Client records can hold taxes, discounts, payment terms, and contact details, then invoices can be exported to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks.
Track billable work, review uninvoiced time, and generate client invoices from approved project records. Everhour keeps invoice status, amounts, and billing data connected for a cleaner Everhour benefit.
