From 2025, the National Tax and Customs Administration (NTCA) has charged late payment surcharges on a monthly basis. The surcharge – once the amount has reached HUF 5,000 – is also charged monthly to the tax account, and this amount must be paid without rounding.

The NTCA sends a notification once a year regarding the prescribed late payment surcharge when it reaches the threshold of HUF 5,000.

On the NTCA Taxpayer Portal (https://ugyfelportal.nav.gov.hu) you can check the amount of the late payment surcharge at any time via the Tax Account section, or via the ‘Further administrative options > Monthly surcharge calculations’ or ‘Surcharge calculations’ tabs. You can find out more about the rules for calculating late payment surcharges here (The linked page is in Hungarian.)
