Austria E-Invoicing
Österreich · ebInterface / Peppol BIS
Austria has mandated e-invoicing for federal government suppliers since 2014, submitted via the USP (Unternehmensserviceportal) or e-Rechnung.gv.at in ebInterface or Peppol BIS format. B2B e-invoicing remains voluntary — the EU's ViDA package will require cross-border B2B digital reporting from 1 July 2030, but Austria has not yet set a domestic B2B mandate date.
Legal basis: IKT-Konsolidierungsgesetz §5 (IKTKonG), BVergG 2018 §368 · Bundesministerium für Finanzen (BMF) ↗
