Germany 

The German tax authorities confirmed that the temporary VAT rate reduction on the supply of catering food services, from the standard rate of 19% to the reduced rate of 7%, will be extended to December 2022. 

It is hoped that this extension will help the hospitality sector recover from the impact of COVID-19.

 

Hungary

From April 2021, all businesses involved in Business to Consumer (B2C) sales in Hungary are required to report invoices under the country’s real-time e-invoice reporting regime.

Prior to April, only Business to Business (B2B) sales made in Hungary were required to report invoices under its real-time e-invoice reporting regime.  

However, by now extending this to consumer sales, it is hoped that it will help prevent VAT fraud that is prevalent in this area.
