Frequently asked questions

01Is e-invoicing mandatory in Austria?

Only for suppliers to federal government bodies, where structured e-invoicing has been mandatory since 1 January 2014. There is no B2B or B2C e-invoicing mandate in Austria today.

02How do I send an e-invoice to an Austrian federal agency?

Over Peppol, all federal recipients are addressed with the single participant ID 9915:b. The e-Rechnung.gv.at platform resolves the actual recipient from the order reference inside your invoice, so a correct order reference is essential.

03Which invoice format does Austria accept?

Over Peppol: Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 (UBL). The federal platform also accepts the Austrian ebInterface standard (versions 4.3 to 6.1) through its portal channels. Pure PDF is not accepted for in-scope federal invoices.

04Will Austria introduce a B2B e-invoicing mandate?

No Austrian B2B mandate has been announced. The EU's ViDA framework brings cross-border digital reporting from July 2030, and Austria may introduce domestic rules under it - connecting to Peppol now keeps you ready either way.
