Hungary has the highest standard VAT rate in the EU at 27%. Reduced rates apply to specific categories: 18% on accommodation and certain food products; 5% on pharmaceuticals, pork, eggs, and some housing.
How it works
The two modes use the standard VAT arithmetic at the chosen rate r (as a fraction, so 27% = 0.27):
- Add tax (net → gross): tax = net × r, gross = net × (1 + r)
- Remove tax (gross → net): net = gross / (1 + r), tax = gross − net
The “remove” direction divides rather than subtracting, because the tax was applied to the net amount, not the gross. The breakdown always shows net, tax and gross so the figures reconcile.
Example
Adding 27% ÁFA to a net price of Ft 10,000:
- Tax = 10,000 × 0.27 = Ft 2,700
- Gross = Ft 12,700
Removing 27% ÁFA from a gross price of Ft 12,700:
- Net = 12,700 / 1.27 = Ft 10,000
- Tax = Ft 2,700
