How Hungary compares

27% is 5.1 points above the EU average of 21.9%. It is the highest standard rate in the EU.

Hungary does not use the euro, so the calculator above works in HUF.

Worked example

A product priced at HUF 10,000.00 before VAT sells for HUF 12,700.00 at the standard 27%: the VAT is HUF 2,700.00.

Going the other way, a shelf price of HUF 10,000.00 with VAT included is HUF 7,874.02 net. Dividing by 1.27 gets you there; taking 27% off the gross does not, and is the most common mistake people make with VAT.

At the lowest reduced rate, 5%, the same HUF 10,000.00 net becomes HUF 10,500.00.

Selling to customers in another EU country

Once your sales to consumers in other EU countries pass €10,000 in a year — all of them together, not per country — you charge each customer the VAT rate of the country they live in, not your own. You do not register in every country for that: the One-Stop Shop (OSS) lets you declare and pay all of it through one return in your home country.

Sales to VAT-registered businesses are different. With a valid VAT number from the buyer, the invoice usually carries no VAT and the buyer accounts for it under the reverse charge. Check the number in the EU's VIES service before you rely on it.

Charging Hungary VAT in WooCommerce

Under WooCommerce → Settings → Tax → Standard rates, add a row with the country code HU, a rate of 27, and leave the state and postcode empty. Each reduced rate goes in its own tax class (Reduced rate, or one you add), with a HU row of its own, and products that qualify are assigned to that class.

If one product you sell is really two things taxed at different rates — a meal deal with food and drink in it, a gift box with a book — a single tax class cannot be right for it. SplitVAT divides that product's price across the tax classes you already have, so the order shows each part at its own rate. It is our plugin, and you only need it if your products are like that.
