RTIR: all VAT-registered businesses, effectively all invoices. Sector e-invoice mandates: energy and water suppliers, non-residential customers only. The proposed future regime covers domestic B2B, intra-EU B2B and B2G, with paper still allowed for B2C and non-EU exports.
Hungary is routinely mis-described as having 'mandatory e-invoicing'. It does not. It has mandatory real-time REPORTING plus two narrow utility-sector e-invoice mandates. The general obligation is still only a consultation concept with no adopted legislation, so 2028/2029 must be presented as indicative. Hungary also benefits from the ViDA grandfathering (RTIR predates 1 Jan 2024), giving it until 1 Jan 2035 to align.
