EKAER (the Electronic Public Road Customs Transit Control System) went live on 1 March 2015 in Hungary, and from this date the majority of public road transportation requires an EKAER number; transporting without an EKAER number can be fined with a penalty of up to 40% of the value of the transported goods. As a result of the hefty penalty rate, practically every taxpayer tries to meet these requirements to the greatest extent possible. Nonetheless, it often happens with international companies that the administration systems they use abroad are not designed to fully meet the registration and data reporting obligations of the Hungarian EKAER system.

WTS Klient Hungary has experienced professionals in the fields of checking and developing business and IT systems, and they are happy to help you with any issues related to the registration and processing obligations required by the EKAER system as well as providing assistance in preparing system messages, and implementing and operating solutions to facilitate communication. If required, we can help our clients connect the systems they already use with existing EKAER solutions by designing appropriate interfaces. If you are unsure whether your system fulfils the prescribed requirements, or if you simply need advice on how to set out on this development path, our advisors will be happy to consult with you on the steps we recommend.
