Introduction of SAF-T in Hungary

Originally, the introduction of SAF-T was set to take place in 2021 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although no official ‘go-live’ date has been provided yet, there are leaks that suggest that SAF-T may come into force in 2022 or early 2023.
The above dates sound feasible, considering it is already more than two years since the project started. Furthermore, detailed technical documentation on SAF-T HU has already been provided by NAV.
SAF-T Hungary is divided into many structures covering various areas of taxpayer finance and accounting. That is a similar model to the Polish SAF-T (JPK), although SAF-T HU features more different structures. NAV underlines that such a design will simplify the generation of SAF-T files from various sources, such as ERP, warehouse systems, billing systems, etc.
