VAT COMPLIANCE

Every company trading within the European Union is required, by law, to ensure that the VAT numbers of its customers are correct (for supplies within the EU). It is important that the correct Hungarian VAT rates are used in accounting records and on invoices as companies are held directly liable for any errors. Failure to provide proof could have serious consequences for your company’s VAT position.

Determining the correct amount of tax to pay can be challenging– especially when you have to deal with changing supply chains and a growing number of countries. Researching Hungarian VAT legislation is the first step to understanding your VAT compliance needs. Our team of VAT experts gives you the ability to identify the correct VAT treatment for a broad range of transactions and makes sure you stay compliant as you grow your business and venture into new markets.

When providing local supplies under a Hungarian VAT number, companies are required to follow local accounting and tax rate rules. These include:

  • Detailing information about the supplier and customers, and transactions costs, etc. on all invoices
  • Issuing full invoices in accordance with the Hungarian VAT Act
  • Issuing invoicing for goods or services in accordance with the Hungarian time of supply rules
  • Processes and control issues for the use of electronic invoices
  • Maintenance of books, which must be retained for at least eight years.
  • Treatment of credit notes, correcting VAT returns, etc.
  • Translation rates for foreign currency invoices
