Odoo electronic invoicing in Austria¶
Odoo Invoicing is your trusted partner for safe, efficient, and legally compliant e-invoicing solutions tailored to Austria’s regulatory standards, and compatible with the European Peppol framework.
Legal framework for e-invoicing in Austria¶
In Austria, businesses must adhere to e-invoicing laws that ensure secure, authentic, and storable transactions. The main regulation governing e-invoicing requirements in Austria is the Austrian VAT Act (UStG) and its related e-invoicing standards for public procurement (BGBI. I Nr. 32/2019), which aligns with EU Directive 2014/55/EU. These laws mandate that all businesses engaged in B2G transactions must use e-invoicing, and increasingly, e-invoicing is encouraged for B2B transactions to improve tax compliance and transparency.
Compliance with Austrian e-invoicing regulations¶
Odoo Invoicing makes it easy for businesses to send, store, and ensure the integrity of their invoices. Here is how Odoo ensures compliance:
Supported format: Odoo supports standard e-invoice formats such as PDF with digital signatures and XML in UBL format, which are fully compatible with e-rechnung.gv.at, Austria’s central electronic invoicing platform for public procurement transactions. Any platform can be used if connected to the authentication services of the Federal Service Portal (USP) e-rechnung.gv.at for e-invoicing transmission.
Secure storage and retrieval: In accordance with the Austrian requirement to store invoices for a minimum of seven years, Odoo securely archives all invoices in a tamper-proof system, ensuring that they can be easily retrieved during audits.
Automatic VAT calculation and reporting: Odoo Invoicing helps businesses stay in line with Austrian VAT requirements by automatically calculating and including VAT in invoices and ensuring that each invoice follows the legal format for B2B and B2G transactions.
