The future of VAT returns, available today- eVAT M2M

The practice of preparing and submitting VAT returns in Hungary will undergo a fundamental transformation soon. The Hungarian Tax Authority’s (hereinafter: ‘HTA’) eVAT system introduces a new approach to tax return processes. As part of this change, the HTA is expected to phase out the currently used ÁNYK system by the end of 2026, and from 1 January 2027 VAT returns may only be submitted through the eVAT framework.

This is not only a technical change: the method of preparing VAT returns, data management, and the system of control points will all require a new approach.

Forvis Mazars’ eVAT machine-to-machine (hereinafter: ‘M2M’) service offers a comprehensive solution to challenges arising from the phase-out of ÁNYK, ensuring a smooth transition to the eVAT system.

To whom do we recommend our eVAT M2M service?

To those who wish to reduce manual administration: when using eVAT, the domestic purchase list report section of the VAT return (M-sheets) is no longer required.
To those who find it challenging to compare and reconcile invoice data with the information available in the Online Invoicing System.
To those who manage a large volume of invoices: manual data collection, data entry, and related reconciliations require significant time.
To those who are not always certain that their invoices fully comply with the applicable rules.
To those who are not convinced that they issue the correct type of document in all cases.

How does eVAT improve efficiency?

The greatest advantage of the eVAT M2M approach is that the VAT return:

is based on automated data processing,
significantly reduces manual data entry and control tasks,
decreases the risks associated with human error,
makes the reporting process faster and more transparent,
supports consistent, auditable data management.

The result: less manual work, higher security, and a more predictable VAT reporting process.
