Technical guide for NAV online invoicing data registration

Online invoicing in accordance with NAV (National Tax and Customs Administration) tax legislation, without risks, free of charge.

The obligation to connect invoicing programmes to NAV means that you are required to report data of all transactions between domestic taxpayers, regardless of the amount of VAT, therefore you are required to report all invoices issued for enterprises.

In the following video we show you how to register in the NAV Online Invoicing System and connect your Számlázz.hu or MostSzámlázz account with the NAV system. Alternatively read our step by step guide with screenshots below the video.

Step-by-step guide

STEP 0/1 – Do you have governmental “Client Gateway” (Ügyfélkapu) access?

nav-en-1

If you already have access, you may proceed to the next section (Step 1). However, if you do not have access yet, you need to request a “Client Gateway” (Ügyfélkapu) identifier. Any natural person can do this:

  • If your personal ID card was issued after 1 January 2016, you can request the identifier at the “Client Gate” (Ügyfélkapu) registration page by clicking on the “E-identifier” (E-személyi) button. Please click here to find the instructions for e-registration.
  •  If you are not eligible, you may request the client gate identifier personally in any office for government-issued documents (okmányiroda), government administration window (kormányablak), NAV central customer services, certain postal customer services or foreign missions.

If you request the client identifier (ügyfélazonosító), you get the identifier immediately. You just need to activate it.

 

STEP 0/2 – Activating the client gateway (ügyfélkapu)

After you have registered successfully, you will receive a single-use code for the first login sent by the system to the email address provided during the registration. You may use the single-use code received via email within 3 days after sending it. Click on the link sent in the email, and fill in the form on the “Activation” (Aktiválás) page. Click here for instructions.

If you have registered online with an electronic personal identification card (which you can do if your personal identification card was issued after 1 January 2016), once you have registered successfully, you may login to the space after about an hour using the password provided during registration.

 

For the login you will need:

  • a client gateway (ügyfélkapu) username/password (one that your enterprise is assigned to)

  • tax identification number (that of the owner of the client gateway access).

  • name of enterprise

  • tax number of enterprise

  • registered seat

  • Számlázz.hu account login information (email address, password)

Good to know! In the case of a sole proprietorship started through the „Web assistant program”, on the day of starting the business, you will not be able to complete the NOSZ registration process (in the absence of the right of representation) or the connection of Számlázz.hu and NOSZ.

Do not get mixed up!

 During the login process, you may get a little mixed up in the series of usernames and passwords. Let us make it clear: during the login process, you will need login information for 3 systems in total (a part of which we are going to create together now):
  1. Client Gateway (Ügyfélkapu) username and password (you hopefully have it already)
  2. NAV Online Invoice system TECHNICAL user password (we are going to create this)
  3. Számlázz.hu login information: email address and password (if you have registered earlier, you may already have this, too)

It is important that the above mentioned usernames and passwords may be identical if you wish, but they do not need to be identical.

The creation of the connection can only be successful if you log in to the live NAV system!
