Based on legislation in effect from July 1 and enforced from August 1, companies operating in Hungary are required to use software able to automatically forward invoices containing VAT of HUF 100,000 or more to the tax authorities.
Varga said that in the first two weeks after the mandatory practice started being enforced, companies had submitted 7.5 million electronic invoices to the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV). So far, 272,000 businesses have registered to use the online system, he added.
Mandatory e-invoicing is one of a number of measures Hungaryʼs government has taken to crack down on tax evasion in recent years.
