Does this apply to me?
Two questions. The fixed-establishment rule is where most foreign businesses get it wrong.
Is your business established in Austria (registered office, branch or fixed establishment)?
Do you make intra-EU B2B supplies involving Austria?
Austria: likely outside the issuing mandate — watch e-reporting / cross-border
VAT registration or trading alone, without a fixed establishment, usually keeps you outside Austria's issuing obligation — but you may still face e-reporting or need to receive structured e-invoices. Confirm your establishment status.
Not in scope for Austria
With no establishment and no registration or trade in Austria, the mandate doesn't apply to you today. Revisit this if you open a branch, warehouse or start supplying into Austria.
Austria: no domestic mandate yet — ViDA applies from July 2030
