As Hungary introduces new regulations for reporting invoices electronically, what will this mean for companies doing business there? In the context of declaring value-added tax (VAT), the interface required for submitting invoices online to the Hungarian Tax Administration (NTCA) has been revised with new specifications. It is crucial that these significant changes be taken into account by those sending invoices electronically in the B2B sector as of January 1st<\/sup>, 2020.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the beginning of the year, all companies liable for tax have been required to report all invoices issued to private persons and virtually all non-taxable persons. In addition, all invoices issued to companies both within and outside of the EU have become subject to reporting.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 1st, 2021 also saw the introduction of the new Interface Specification 3.0. Following a test phase that started in October 2020, the new specifications are now generally binding for the transmission of invoice data to the national Hungarian Tax and Customs Administration (NTCA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest, applicable specifications can be found on the Online Szamla website at https:\/\/onlineszamla.nav.gov.hu\/dokumentaciok<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New ways of electronic invoicing in Hungary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new XML version 3.0 is more flexible and facilitates new billing processes. Previously, the only option had been a process split into two parts. The customer received a printed or PDF invoice, while in parallel an XML report was sent to the NTCA. For the time being, this procedure will remain in place.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s new for companies and suppliers is the option of sending the XML invoice submitted to the NTCA straight from the Online Szamla system to their customers as a digital B2B invoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
