Digital development is also advocated by the Hungarian and EU tax legislation, of course not without any connection. Such application of technology is intended to help not only the administrative work of taxpayers, but also the control tasks of tax authorities.

Pursuant to the planned legislative package, invoices will generally have to be issued electronically, and member states can request an exemption from the mandatory application. However, electronic invoicing cannot be avoided in the case of EU transactions between EU countries, and starting in 2024, the customer’s consent will no longer be required to issue an e-invoice for domestic transactions, whereas now the customer can still stick to the paper-based invoice.
