Starting January 1, 2025, new regulations will mandate electronic invoicing for electricity and natural gas supplies to non-private individuals.
This obligation is outlined in Government Decree no. 273/2007. The framework does not require e-invoices to be issued in any specific format, nor does it require a specific method for the exchange of the electronic invoice. Therefore, electricity traders, distributors, transmission system operators, and natural gas distributors are allowed to use any format and exchange method currently accepted by the Hungarian Tax Authority.
