Localization for Hungary (HU) – a proven solution for legal compliance 

  • March 11, 2026

Implementing an ERP system in a new country brings both legislative and process-specific requirements. Hungary’s tax, accounting and reporting requirements are among the strictest in the EU.

Whether it’s an on-premise or cloud SAP solution, a standard implementation or a complex project with custom development, we have the experience to deliver it. We have worked with various versions of SAP systems, including SAP ECC 6.0, SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition. 

Projects in Hungary make up a significant part of our work. This gives our clients confidence that we understand both the local market and the legislative environment. The key to successful delivery is our team of consultants and developers, who can run projects entirely in Hungarian.

For projects in Hungary, full localization ensuring legal compliance is a standard part of our delivery. 

MIBFORMA provides a localization package for Hungary that helps keep SAP systems compliant with local legislation and supports smooth operations on the Hungarian market. We continuously update the localization to reflect legislative changes and customer requirements.  


What does the localization for Hungary include? 

Our localization covers the key tax, accounting and legal processes that are mandatory for doing business in Hungary. 

Note: The scope of functionality may vary depending on the SAP system version. 

Online Számla – mandatory invoice reporting 

Hungary has a unique requirement to electronically report all issued invoices to the tax authority’s system (NAV). 

Invoices can be submitted in several ways, depending on the customer’s preference: 

1. Through integration with a third-party application 

  • Support for the current NAV XML version 
  • Automatic sending of invoices to the third-party application 
  • Invoice status tracking in the third-party application 

2. Using the standard SAP Document and Reporting Compliance functionality 

  • Support for the current NAV XML version 
  • Secure API communication with the tax authority’s system 
  • Clear monitoring and error handling 

Local VAT and tax processes 

We make sure Hungarian VAT returns are processed accurately, on time and without unnecessary administrative burden.  

Our solution includes: 

  • Preconfigured Hungarian VAT rates (27%, 18%, 5%) 
  • Standard and special schemes (reverse charge, intra-EU schemes) 
  • Correct VAT posting in line with Hungarian legislation 
  • Tax returns and control statements in the local format – VAT returns 2X65A + 2X65M and the summary report 2XA60 

Accounting under Hungarian rules 

We set up your accounting in line with Hungarian accounting regulations and local legislation.  

Our solution includes: 

  • A preconfigured chart of accounts and document types

EKÁER (Elektronikus Közúti Áruforgalom-ellenőrző Rendszer) 

EKÁER is Hungary’s electronic road transport control system. Reporting is mandatory for transports of specified categories of goods and must be timely and accurate.
