This year, Hungary will be significantly overhauling its cash register system. Starting in July 2024, the implementation of electronic registers (e-registers) will enable the issuance of digital receipts, accessible to consumers via a specialized app. This digital shift aims to streamline transactions and enhance consumer convenience.
The e-register (ePG) system signifies a departure from traditional, physical cash registers, and a move towards a software or cloud-based solution directly linked with the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV). This system will automatically issue electronic receipts, with paper receipts provided only upon customer request, marking a significant shift towards minimizing paper usage.
