The change

Hungary's National Tax and Customs Administration confirmed that from 1 September 2026 data on both manually issued and computer-generated receipts must be reported to NAV. Reports are due within three calendar days of issuance and are aggregated daily by tax rate. A four-month transition runs from 1 September to 31 December 2026 during which no penalty applies; fines apply from 1 January 2027.

What changed in detail

Hungary’s National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) confirmed that from 1 September 2026, data on both manually issued and computer-generated receipts must be reported to NAV. Reports are due within three calendar days of issuance and are aggregated daily by tax rate. A four-month transition runs from 1 September to 31 December 2026 during which no penalty applies; fines begin from 1 January 2027.

What it means

The grace period is worth using as build time, not as a reason to wait. Reporting within three days of issuance and aggregating daily by rate is a POS and receipting-system integration job, and the four months to 31 December exist precisely so that job gets done before fines start — not so it can be deferred until January.
