The Hungarian National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) has implemented several oversight and notification measures. Throughout the summer, the agency conducted extensive inspections targeting the tourism and service sectors, specifically in high-traffic counties. These audits focused on receipt compliance, cash register usage, and employment irregularities, resulting in hundreds of identified cases of non-compliance.

Following these enforcement actions, NAV began a large-scale notification process on August 10, informing approximately 1.8 million individuals and sole traders of their tax account statuses. These notifications, sent via mail or electronically, alert taxpayers to outstanding debts or overpayments, offering options for installment plans, payment relief, or refunds.
