What this calculates

The standard VAT rate in Hungary is 27%. Locally the tax is called ÁFA. It is added to the net price of most goods and services, so a business charges the net price plus 27%, and the customer pays the gross figure. To find the net price inside a VAT-inclusive price, divide by 1.27 — subtracting 27% from the gross price would leave you short, because the VAT was worked out on the smaller, net amount. Like every EU country, Hungary also taxes some goods and services at lower rates or exempts them; if that applies to what you sell, type your rate into the calculator.

Formula

adding VAT     gross = net × 1.27
removing VAT   net   = gross ÷ 1.27
VAT amount     vat   = gross − net

Example

Adding Hungarian VAT at 27% to HUF 10,000 gives HUF 2,700 of VAT and a gross price of HUF 12,700. Going the other way, HUF 12,700 including VAT divided by 1.27 gives back the net price of HUF 10,000.

Frequently asked questions

The standard rate is 27%, and it applies to most goods and services. Some items are taxed at reduced rates or are exempt, depending on exactly what is sold. Check with Hungary's tax authority if you are unsure which rate applies to you.

What is VAT called in Hungary?

ÁFA. On invoices and receipts you will usually see it under that name or its abbreviation, next to the rate charged.

How do I remove 27% VAT from a price?
