- Electronic invoicing is mandatory for companies invoicing Austrian federal government authorities, but not for B2B transactions.
- Both Austrian and foreign suppliers to federal authorities must issue e-invoices, if technically possible.
- The requirement is based on the Austrian ICT Consolidation Act and EU public procurement rules.
- Since April 2020, e-invoices must be used for federal ministries and institutions; regional and municipal authorities are not required but may use the system voluntarily.
- E-invoices are submitted via the government portal e-Rechnung.gv.at, using web forms, file uploads, or automated web services, with authentication through the Unternehmensserviceportal (USP); Peppol network is also supported.
