30 September 2026
From 1 January 2027, all businesses registered for VAT in Hungary will be required to file their VAT returns through the country’s eVAT, or eÁFA, system. This will replace the existing VAT return filing process, which is expected to be withdrawn at the end of 2026.
The new system will use transaction data already held by the Hungarian tax authority, including online invoice reports, cash-register information and customs records. It will use this information to pre-populate VAT return data and carry out automated checks for potential errors before the return is submitted.
Businesses will then have two filing options. They can either use the eVAT web portal or connect their accounting system directly to the tax authority through a machine-to-machine interface. The direct connection is likely to be more appropriate for businesses with high transaction volumes or complex Hungarian VAT activities.
The requirement will also apply to non-resident businesses registered for VAT in Hungary.
We will contact affected clients shortly to explain the services and support available to help them prepare for the new system.
