GS1 Hungary

GS1 Hungary, as a member of CSAOSZ, has prepared two new documents to support domestic companies in the use of electronic invoices in the distribution of products affected by the Government Decree 450/2023 (X.4.) on the redemption fee.

Under the government decree, invoices issued for the sale of beverage products must show the redemption charge separately, as an item outside the scope of VAT. To assist with this, GS1 Hungary has published centrally issued GTIN numbers to help with the correct invoicing of the redemption charge. Detailed information and the GTIN numbers are available at the following link: GS1 Hungary – New GTIN numbers to help you invoice the redemption fee (gs1hu.org)

To indicate the DRS charge rate on EDI invoices, it is necessary to use the EANCOM 2002 standard based on INVOIC EDIFACT D.01B, as the new code values are only supported in this version. GS1 Hungary has produced a document explaining the technical differences between the two versions to help with the transition. For more information and the official position on the version change, please visit GS1 Hungary – GS1 Hungary invites domestic users to switch to the more advanced INVOIC EANCOM 2002 standard for electronic messages (gs1hu.org)
