- Austria will allow businesses, from 1 October 2026, to provide electronic fiscal receipts digitally at the point of sale under amended Section 132a BAO.
- Retailers may either send receipts directly (e.g., email/app/download) or let customers retrieve them on-site via a terminal device, such as scanning a QR code at checkout.
- The change affects receipt delivery only; it does not remove the obligation to issue fiscal receipts or alter existing cash register requirements.
- No specific electronic format is required; receipts may be PDF, text, XML, or other formats, but they must still be created and signed by the cash register immediately in connection with payment.
- The receipt must be readily accessible during the payment process, face the customer, and remain available long enough for retrieval without extra steps or leaving the checkout area.
