Issuing invoices in Hungary: reverse charge on VAT

Most business owners in Hungary are used to issuing and receiving invoices with value-added tax. When such an invoice is issued, the buyer must pay the gross amount, and later both parties submit a VAT report indicating the value added tax they received and paid. These two amounts determine whether the seller needs to forward any VAT to the tax authority. Reverse charge works the opposite way: the seller cannot charge VAT because it must be determined and paid by the buyer.
