Thinking of selling in Austria? You’ll need an Austrian VAT number!

No worries, we’ve got it covered. We’ll handle the VAT registration for you and take care of all the paperwork, so you can focus on growing your business!

When do you need a Austrian VAT number?

You’ll need an Austrian VAT number if:

You’re buying goods in Austria and paying VAT there, then selling them either in Austria, to other EU countries, or exporting them outside the EU.
You’re importing products into Austria from outside the EU and selling them in Austria or other EU countries.
You’re selling online to private customers in Austria and your sales go over the €10,000 threshold (for cross-border sales within the EU under the One Stop Shop (OSS) rules).
You’re moving your own goods to Austria—this is seen as an intra-EU delivery.
You’re using Amazon’s Pan-European FBA program and storing goods in Austrian or other EU fulfillment centers. You’ll need a VAT number for every country where your stock is stored.

Thinking of using Amazon’s Pan-European service? Just keep in mind that you’ll need to register for VAT in each country where Amazon stores your inventory, like Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, and the Czech Republic.

What if I don't comply?

If you skip getting your Austrian VAT number when it’s required, here’s what could happen:

Fines and penalties: The Austrian tax office (Finanzamt) could fine you for not registering on time.

Back payments: You might still have to pay VAT on past sales, with some interest added for late payments.

Legal trouble: If you keep putting it off, things could escalate, leading to bigger penalties or even legal action.

Business hassles: Not being VAT-compliant can create issues with customers or partners, as they may prefer to work with businesses that follow the rules.

It’s easier to register for VAT upfront and avoid these headaches later!

We are a Belgian company with a webshop that also sells products to the Netherlands. For this we had to be in order with the VAT administration in NL. We came into contact with Staxxer and they take care of everything for us, from the VAT number to the quarterly declarations. The communication is very smooth but what struck me immediately was the user-friendly website. As a small independent company we find it very nice to be able to focus on our core business, knowing that part of our administration is in good hands with an external partner. Highly recommended!

Through Amazon DE, I sell to a large number of European countries. Each country has a different VAT rate and cost and sales figures. To get all the information correctly from Amazon took a lot of time, stress and headaches. Fortunately, now Staxxer does my German VAT declaration as well as those of the other European countries (OSS). Recently, they even settled my German waste tax EPR. In short: Staxxer makes my work a whole lot more fun. And they are reliable, transparent and nice too 🙂

Very satisfied with this VAT service provider. Ideal for companies active in marketplaces.

Recommend everyone to work with Staxxer in the field of VAT returns throughout Europe, this makes it easy, transparent and well arranged with the right contact. Highly recommended for these great guys!
