Hungary’s e-Cash Registers: New Cybersecurity and Technical Updates

Hungary’s Ministry for National Economy has proposed a draft amendment to Decree No. 8/2025, introducing stricter cybersecurity requirements for both cloud-based and hardware-based electronic cash registers (e-cash registers) in line with the Cybersecurity Act effective from January 2025. Cloud-based systems must undergo cybersecurity audits by registered auditors, while hardware-based devices require certification from the tax control unit manufacturer, ensuring compliance with national cybersecurity standards.
