For foreign businesses trading in Hungary that are VAT/GST/Tax registered in their home state, the VAT registration threshold is nil.
For EU VAT registered companies selling goods over the internet to consumers in Hungary, the VAT registration threshold (distance selling) is HUF 8,800,000 per annum.
In Hungary a foreign business cannot register for VAT only but must register for all taxes. The Hungarian tax office will require the appropriate registration forms to be completed, and submitted with the following documentation:
Registration must be completed within 30 days if the correct documentation is supplied and may take as little as one working day. Once the registration has been granted, a unique Hungarian VAT number is allocated to the company. All EU member states have a fixed format for their VAT numbers. In Hungary, it includes the prefix HU followed by 8 digits.
