VAT Registration in Austria — What It Is and How to Get an Austrian VAT Number
VAT (Value Added Tax) registration is required for businesses that supply goods or services in Austria and exceed certain turnover thresholds. It ensures your company is legally recognised for tax purposes and allows you to charge, collect, and reclaim VAT on eligible transactions.
To get an Austrian VAT number, Leadforce handles the entire registration process on your behalf. This includes preparing and submitting the necessary documents to Austrian tax authorities, ensuring compliance, and securing your VAT number efficiently so your company can trade legally without delays.
Taxation in Austria and Dividend Rates
Austria has a transparent and predictable tax system, providing certainty for businesses and investors. Corporate profits are subject to the standard corporate tax rate, allowing for straightforward financial planning.
