Last year the Hungarian Government implemented new regulations mandating electronic invoicing for electricity and natural gas supplies to non-private individuals beginning on 1 January 2025.
However, to provide more time for taxpayers impacted by this requirement, the Government decided to push this deadline to July 1, 2025.
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.
