Hungary introduced Real-Time Invoice Reporting, RTIR, on 1 July 2018, requiring invoice data for domestic transactions to be reported electronically and immediately to the Hungarian Tax Authority, NAV. Initially, the obligation applied to invoices above a VAT threshold, but from 1 July 2020 the scope expanded to cover all domestic B2B transactions regardless of value. From 2021, the reporting obligation extended to B2C invoices, intra-community supplies, and exports. Hungary operates a continuous transaction control reporting model through the NAV Online Számla platform. In addition, from 1 July 2025, mandatory e-invoicing applies specifically to B2B electricity and natural gas and water utility supplies to non-private individuals.

Niet verplicht
Do I need to have a permanent establishment in Hungary to be required to e-report?
A fixed establishment is defined under Section 259 of the VAT Act as a geographically determinable place with sufficient permanence and resources to conduct business independently.
 
RTIR:
Applies to VAT-registered established and non-established businesses issuing domestic invoices.
 
Sector-specific e-invoicing (electricity & gas):
Applies to electricity traders, distributors, transmission operators, and natural gas distributors operating in Hungary.
 
Foreign digital service providers must comply under the same rules as other foreign businesses.
RTIR (Domestic transactions):
Applies to VAT-registered businesses (established and non-established) issuing domestic invoices.
 
If a business sells only to non-domestically registered taxable persons → no domestic reporting obligation.
 
Electricity & Natural Gas e-invoicing:
Applies to regulated energy suppliers operating in Hungary.
 
OSS-registered foreign businesses:
Foreign taxpayers registered under the EU One Stop Shop (OSS) do not need to submit invoice data to NAV for those OSS transactions.
Invoice must be issued within 8 days of supply.
For intra-community supplies: by the 15th day of the following month.
Invoice data must be transmitted to NAV immediately upon issuance (real-time).

Up to HUF 500,000 per invoice not reported, reported late, incompletely, incorrectly, or untruthfully.

From 1 January 2025, failure to respond to a NAV clarification request within 15 days may result in a HUF 300,000 fine.

Steps to be performed by customer

1. Register on Customer Gate, Ügyfélkapu, and the NAV Online Invoice System.
2. Create technical users, generate signature and replacement keys, and assign the required permissions for invoice data reporting and data queries.

Steps VAT IT can assist with

3. Ensure the ERP or invoicing software can generate the required XML file using the invoiceData.xsd schema and transmit invoice data automatically.
4. Implement real-time automated reporting to NAV immediately upon invoice issuance.
5. Include the required hash codes for electronic XML or PDF invoices where the electronic invoice and data report are used to support authenticity and integrity.
6. Implement compliant archiving for at least five years and ensure that invoice integrity can be verified, for example by comparing the stored invoice hash with the hash reported to NAV.

In summary

eezi can assist by integrating with the client’s ERP or invoicing system and reporting invoice data to NAV in real time without human intervention.
 
eezi can support the issuance of PDF invoices, future XML invoice flows, NAV reporting, required data transformation, recipient email handling where PDFs are sent directly to customers, and retrieval or management of reporting responses from NAV. eezi’s integration with NAV helps clients meet the real-time reporting obligation while reducing the need to manage the technical connection and reporting process internally.
