14 December 2016 Hungary to implement invoice data reporting during 2017 According to recently adopted legislation in Hungary, as of July 1, 2017, the invoicing software of Hungarian taxpayers will be required to have a direct data connection with the Hungarian tax authority in order to report sales invoice data in real-time. This liability will apply to Hungarian business to business (B2B) invoices in which at least HUF100,000 (approx. €320) value added tax (VAT) is charged. The requirement will also apply to entities that are only VAT registered in Hungary as well as to those whose invoicing function is managed abroad. Failure to meet the new obligation may result in a penalty up to HUF500,000 (approx. €1,700) per invoice. Document ID: 2016-2136 |
