Hungary introduces mandatory receipt data reporting from September 1

Starting 1 September, Hungary’s National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) will require businesses that issue manual paper receipts or receipts generated by computer‑based software to submit the receipt data to the NAV portal within three calendar days. The data must be uploaded as a daily summary, classified by tax rate. Companies using online cash registers are exempt, as their reporting is automated. Fintech firm Számlázz.hu says its platform will automatically forward receipt information for users, and it is developing an e‑cash‑register app for smartphone‑based payments and printing.

The change is part of a broader set of upcoming deadlines highlighted by the Hungarian agricultural association MAGOSZ, including submission periods for forest‑planting subsidies, generational‑farm transfer grants, and a 12‑month reporting window for KAP subsidies. Failure to meet the new reporting obligations could result in penalties or the loss of previously granted subsidies.
