NAV payments

Taxes, duties and other payment obligations registered by the Custom Office (NAV) must be paid to the appropriate public account for each tax and obligation, while fines, surcharges and related costs must be paid to a separate account, in HUF. This information sheet describes the various payment methods and their application options.

How to pay?

Possible payment methods for domestic taxpayers:

• a transfer from a domestic payment or payment account (even using the Instant Payment System),
• payment by cash transfer order (yellow cheque),
• other electronic payment methods via the Electronic Payment and Settlement System (EFER):

1. a transfer from a domestic payment or payment account (even using the Instant Payment System),
2. payment by cash transfer order (yellow cheque),
3. other electronic payment methods via the Electronic Payment and Settlement System (EFER):
   • House bank transfers via the house bank interface of a payment service provider connected to EFER,
   • payment by credit card:
     • POS payment via the so-called POS terminal,
     • VPOS payment via an Internet interface (Virtual POS terminal),

It is important that when making a payment, the tax number and tax identification number must be indicated on the remittance advice or yellow cheque. Without this, the NAV may account for the amount paid late or incorrectly.

When making a transfer, the account number and name of the account can be found in the list of account numbers published on the NAV website: https://nav.gov.hu/nav/szolgaltatasok/szamlaszamok
