The change

Hungary's VAT small-business exemption (alanyi adómentesség) turnover threshold rises from HUF 20 million (2026) to HUF 22 million from 2027, and to HUF 24 million from 2028, under Section 188(2) of the VAT Act (Act CXXVII of 2007).

What changed in detail

The annual turnover threshold for Hungary’s VAT small-business exemption (alanyi adómentesség) is HUF 20 million in 2026. It rises to HUF 22 million from 2027 and to HUF 24 million from 2028. The threshold is set in Section 188(2) of the VAT Act (Act CXXVII of 2007), and the NAV announcement reflects the enacted increase.

What it means

The increase is staged, so businesses near the line should test their expected turnover against the figure for the year in question, not the current HUF 20 million. A business that stays below the new threshold may remain outside VAT where it would previously have had to register; one already registered should check whether the exemption is available and what it would mean for input VAT.
