VAT registration in Hungary

Foreign companies importing goods into Hungary or supplying goods from Hungary or to Hungary may have an obligation to register for VAT in Hungary. Typically you might need a VAT registration in Hungary, for example, in the following cases:

• You purchase and sell goods in Hungary;
• You import goods into Hungary from outside EU or bring in goods from another EU country;
• You supply goods from a warehouse in Hungary;
• You bring in your own goods to Hungary from another EU country or remove your own goods from Hungary to another EU country (some exceptions apply);
• You deliver goods on a turn-key basis (supply goods with installation or assembly) in certain circumstances;
• You receive entrance fee for conference, exhibition or training in Hungary;
• You supply goods to final consumers (B2C supplies) in Hungary over EUR 35 000 threshold (distance selling).

If you failed to register for VAT in the past but wish to remedy it now, it is possible to register with a retrospective effect date and submit your VAT returns retrospectively.

How can RSM help you with your Hungarian tax, VAT obligations? 

RSM Hungary can help you to determine your VAT registration obligation and register you for VAT in Hungary, if you need it. We can prepare and submit VAT registration on your behalf and will arrange for the necessary translations of the VAT registration documentation from most European languages to Hungarian.

Once you have your VAT number, we will prepare and submit VAT returns on your behalf.
