Austria

Austria’s tax system is administered by the Federal Ministry of Finance (Bundesministerium für Finanzen). As an EU member state, Austria follows the EU VAT Directive with standard, reduced, and intermediate rates.

VAT (Umsatzsteuer, USt) applies to most goods and services. Businesses are identified by their UID-Nummer (VAT identification number) in the format ATU followed by 8 digits. Austria supports credit notes for invoice corrections.
