Odoo electronic invoicing in Hungary¶
Odoo Invoicing is your trusted partner for safe, efficient, and legally compliant e-invoicing solutions tailored to Hungary’s regulatory standards.
Legal framework for e-invoicing in Hungary¶
In Hungary, businesses must adhere to e-invoicing regulations to ensure secure, authentic, and storable transactions. The primary legal framework is the Hungarian VAT Act (Act CXXVII of 2007), which mandates real-time reporting of invoices to the NAV Online invoice system, Hungary’s government e-invoicing platform. As of 2021, all B2B and B2C invoices must be reported in real-time, regardless of value. Hungary’s regulations do not currently require B2G e-invoicing, but public sector invoicing is encouraged via the Peppol network. Common formats for e-invoicing include XML for NAV submissions and other structured formats to streamline compliance.
