What is the eReceipt (eNyugta) system?

The eReceipt system (Hungarian: eNyugta rendszer) is a digital platform introduced in 2024 by the Hungarian National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) to support the operation of electronic cash registers (e-cash registers). The system is designed to manage receipts and reports issued by cash registers in a standardized electronic format and to enable communication with customer applications through a centralized platform.

eNyugta is a modern tool for digital data reporting, playing a key role in promoting electronic receipt issuance, reducing tax evasion, and enabling real-time transaction tracking.

Why was the eNyugta system introduced?

Traditional cash registers and paper-based receipt methods often lack real-time data connectivity, preventing NAV from receiving timely transaction information. With eNyugta, NAV aims to:

• Simplify and automate receipt management,
• Gain real-time access to cash register transaction data,
• Ensure secure, reliable data exchange between merchants and customers.

The system also supports digital innovation and the spread of electronic payment culture, particularly in the retail sector.

How does the eNyugta system work?

The eNyugta system is a centralized data platform that connects:

• Electronic cash registers (e-cash registers),
• The NAV central database,
• Customer-facing applications that can receive digital receipts.
• The system processes and manages various types of data and documents, including:
• Cash register opening slips,
• Daily sales reports,
• Cash register summaries,
• Cash movement records,
• End-of-day closures and summary reports.

All these data points are transmitted to NAV in real-time or near real-time.

What is the “Receipt Archive” (Nyugtatár)?

A key component of the eNyugta system is the Nyugtatár, or Receipt Archive — a centralized electronic repository that stores digital copies of issued receipts. The Receipt Archive allows:

• Customers to retrieve their digital receipts via compatible apps,
• NAV to verify the authenticity of issued receipts and compliance of transactions,
• Merchants to securely archive electronic receipts.

Additionally, the system ensures the secure transmission of data, including authentication and identification of endpoints such as the cash register and the customer’s app.

What are the benefits of the eNyugta system?

The eNyugta system provides several advantages for Hungarian businesses:

Paperless receipt issuance: Digital receipts replace printed slips,

Real-time data transmission: NAV instantly receives transaction data, reducing the opportunity for tax evasion,

Automated reporting: Sales reports and cash movements can be submitted automatically,

Improved customer experience: Buyers can conveniently access receipts in digital format,

Environmental sustainability: Less paper use, lower environmental impact.

Who is the eNyugta system for?

The system is primarily intended for businesses that:

• Use electronic cash registers, especially in retail or hospitality sectors,
• Prefer to issue electronic receipts instead of paper ones,
• Want to integrate their systems with NAV’s digital infrastructure.

From 2024, the system is being rolled out gradually and will become mandatory in certain sectors according to NAV’s implementation schedule.

Summary

The eNyugta system is NAV’s latest digital innovation, enabling electronic issuance, transmission, and retrieval of receipt data via e-cash registers. With its central Receipt Archive and secure buyer interactions, eNyugta supports digital taxation, environmentally responsible business practices, and a more modern customer experience.
