Companies that carry out active business in Austria are deemed to be entrepreneurs for VAT purposes and must pay the tax – usually at the standard rate of 20%, although several reduced and zero rates are applicable to certain goods and services. A business will be required to register for VAT as soon as it imports goods into the EU via Austria, buys or sells in Austria, holds goods in a warehouse in the country, sells from Austria to another EU country or acquires goods from other EU nations and brings them to Austria.
