Use this page when you need a client-facing invoice for goods, services, project work, or billable time connected to Hungary. The finished document should show who sold the work, who bought it, what was supplied, the VAT treatment, the amount payable, and the payment deadline. A printed copy also needs a unique invoice number that fits the seller's numbering sequence.
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. Printed invoices still need the same business facts as electronic invoices, including issue date, supplier details, customer details, taxable amounts, VAT rates, and VAT amounts.
A Hungarian VAT invoice must include the date of issue and a sequential number that uniquely identifies the invoice. It also needs the supplier's tax number, full name, and address, plus 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.
Each line should identify the goods or service, quantity where measurable, supply or advance date if different from the issue date, taxable amount, unit price excluding tax, discounts outside the unit price, applied tax rate, output VAT amount, and any exemption reference. 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.
Printed invoices are still part of Hungary's online invoice reporting system. 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 are reported within 4 days, or within 1 day when invoice VAT reaches or exceeds HUF 500,000.
Issue timing also matters. 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. A printed invoice should reflect the correct issue date and supply date, since those dates drive tax and payment records.
A one-off printed invoice works for occasional billing when the line items are simple, the VAT treatment is clear, and you can manually preserve the invoice number, PDF, and reporting evidence. It is enough for a freelancer who bills one client once, prints the document, and sends the same file to bookkeeping.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when billable time, expenses, approvals, and project profitability need an audit trail before the invoice is printed. Everhour Reporting gives teams customizable reports with 45+ columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, exports, and scheduled email delivery, so billing reviews can happen before invoice amounts move into accounting or client delivery.

Yes. A printed Hungarian VAT invoice must show the taxable amount, unit price excluding tax, discounts outside the unit price, applied VAT rate, output VAT amount, and any exemption reference where applicable. The format can be paper-based, but the required VAT content still comes from Act CXXVII of 2007 on VAT and NTCA rules.
A domestic VAT invoice must show output VAT payable in HUF, even when other invoice details use another currency. Hungary's currency is the Hungarian forint. Invoices may be issued in Hungarian or any spoken foreign language, although an official Hungarian translation may be required during a tax audit.
Yes. 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. A printed invoice still needs proper numbering, VAT fields, supplier and customer identification, and reporting treatment where the VAT Act applies.
Mixing up the issue date and the supply or advance date creates avoidable tax and payment confusion. The invoice must show the supply or advance date when it differs from the issue date. Hungary's issue deadlines vary by payment, completion, VAT-charged supply, intra-Community exempt supply, and reverse-charge service category.
No. 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, with exemptions for specified public-interest or special-nature activities. Use the reduced rate only when the supply qualifies.
Everhour Reporting lets teams review billing data before invoices are finalized, using 45+ columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and exports. A team can check billable time, non-billable time, costs, invoice status, project, client, member, and task details before accounting prepares the client document.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing marks time as invoiced after it is included in an invoice, so the same time does not appear again in future invoices. This protects repeat billing workflows where tracked time, expenses, and client invoices move through several review steps.
Use a printed invoice for simple Hungary billing, then move recurring work into Everhour Reporting to review time, costs, clients, and invoice status before final delivery.
