Since 2013, electronic invoicing has been optional for private companies in Austria. However, to adhere to EU directives, Austria mandated electronic invoicing for central public administrations in 2014, and expanded this requirement to include federal states and municipal authorities in 2020.
Send & Receive E-invoices in Austria
Public Sector: E-invoicing is mandatory for all central government agencies, federal states (Bundesländer), and municipalities.
Private Sector: While e-invoicing is not mandatory for businesses within Austria, it may still be required to work with businesses from other EU countries with e-invoicing as the only allowed option.
Invoice Format
Austria’s e-invoicing system utilizes standardized formats to ensure seamless data exchange.
ebInterface (XML): This established XML format is widely used in Austria for electronic data interchange, including e-invoicing.
PEPPOL-UBL: This format aligns with the international PEPPOL network, facilitating e-invoicing across borders.
Electronic Reporting
Austria mandates electronic reporting of transaction data to the Federal Tax Administration (Eidgenössische Steuerverwaltung, ESTV). Businesses can fulfill this requirement by submitting their invoices electronically through any Peppol access point.
Invoice Archiving
In Austria, invoice data must be archived for a period of 7 years plus an additional year.
