Számláz

Számláz is a Hungarian verb meaning "to invoice" or "to bill". It refers to the process of creating and issuing a document, typically a bill or invoice, that details goods or services provided and the amount owed by a customer. This process is fundamental in business transactions, serving as a formal record of a sale and a request for payment.

In a business context, "számlázás" (the noun form) involves several steps. It begins with the recording of the transaction, including the identification of the parties involved, the description of the items or services, their quantities, and unit prices. Taxes, if applicable, are also calculated and added. The resulting document, the számla, is then generated. This számla serves as proof of the transaction for both the seller and the buyer, and is often required for accounting and tax purposes.

The practice of számlázás is regulated by Hungarian law, which specifies the required content and format of a számla. Businesses are obligated to issue invoices for most transactions, and failure to do so can result in penalties. Electronic invoicing is also becoming increasingly common, streamlining the process and reducing paper waste. The act of számlázás ensures transparency in commercial dealings and facilitates financial record-keeping.
