Hungary has the highest standard VAT rate in the EU at 27% (AFA - Altalanos Forgalmi Ado). An 18% reduced rate applies to dairy products, flour, and bakery goods. A 5% super-reduced rate applies to medicines, certain basic foods, books, hotel accommodation, internet access, and new residential properties. Hungary's 27% standard rate has applied since 2012.
What qualifies for Hungary's 5% super-reduced VAT rate?↓
Hungary's 5% reduced AFA rate applies to: human medicines and vaccines, certain basic foodstuffs (pork, poultry, eggs, fish, milk, fresh and chilled products), books and sheet music, hotel accommodation, residential internet access, and the first sale of new residential properties. This list differs significantly from the typical EU pattern for reduced VAT, so businesses should verify the current classification for specific products.
When must a business register for VAT in Hungary?↓
Hungarian businesses must register for AFA (VAT) if annual taxable turnover exceeds HUF 12,000,000 (approximately EUR 30,000). The threshold applies per calendar year. Foreign businesses without a Hungarian establishment must register from their first taxable supply in Hungary with no threshold, unless using the EU OSS scheme. Registration is through the Hungarian National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV).
