Mandatory fields
What must appear on an invoice in Austria?
Pick the case that matches your invoice. The content below switches instantly.
Small-amount invoice
Up to €400 gross
You only need the issuer, the invoice date, the quantity and customary description of the supply, the gross amount, the tax rate and the date of delivery or service period. A sequential invoice number is not required — but still useful for your bookkeeping.
Full invoice
Over €400 gross
You also need the recipient’s details, a sequential invoice number, the net amount, the tax rate, the tax amount and the gross amount. Where a tax exemption applies, the appropriate legal note replaces the VAT line.
Additional UID requirement
Over €10,000 gross
If the supplying business is based in Austria and the supply is provided to another business for that business, the recipient’s VAT ID (UID) must also appear on the invoice once the gross amount exceeds €10,000. For reverse-charge and intra-Community supplies the UID is required regardless of the amount.
Updated rule since 2025
Kleinunternehmer
The Austrian small-business threshold is €55,000 in annual turnover, both in the current and the previous calendar year. No VAT is shown on the invoice — instead, a note about the exemption under § 6 Abs 1 Z 27 UStG is added.
Umsatzsteuerbefreit aufgrund der Kleinunternehmerregelung gemäß § 6 Abs. 1 Z 27 UStG.
Typical fields under § 11 UStG

VAT & special cases
Check first
Typical Austrian VAT rates are 20%, 13% and 10%. For tax-exempt supplies, intra-Community deliveries, exports or reverse-charge cases the invoice needs the appropriate note instead of a regular VAT line.
Reverse charge, intra-Community deliveries, construction services and e-invoices to Austrian federal authorities have their own requirements. This template covers classic B2B and B2C invoices — for special cases, talk to your tax advisor, the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKO) or the Unternehmensserviceportal (USP).

FAQ
Common questions about the Austrian invoice template
-
What mandatory fields must an Austrian invoice contain? +
For invoices over €400 gross, § 11 UStG requires — among other things — the name and address of issuer and recipient, the invoice date, a sequential invoice number, the date or period of supply, a description of the goods or service, the net amount, the tax rate, the tax amount and the gross amount. From €10,000 gross, the recipient’s VAT ID (UID) is mandatory as well.
-
What is a Kleinbetragsrechnung (small-amount invoice)? +
For invoices up to €400 gross, simplified rules apply under § 11 Abs 6 UStG. It is enough to state the issuer’s name and address, the invoice date, the quantity and customary description of the supply, the date of delivery or service period, the gross amount and the tax rate. A VAT ID and a sequential invoice number are not required here, but a clean numbering scheme is still recommended for your own bookkeeping.
-
What goes on a Kleinunternehmer (small-business) invoice in Austria? +
Under the Kleinunternehmer scheme no Austrian VAT is shown on the invoice. Instead, the invoice carries a note such as "Umsatzsteuerbefreit aufgrund der Kleinunternehmerregelung gemäß § 6 Abs. 1 Z 27 UStG" (VAT-exempt under the Austrian small-business rule). All other mandatory fields still apply. For intra-EU transactions a VAT ID may be required in addition.
-
What VAT rates apply in Austria? +
The standard Austrian VAT rate is 20%. Reduced rates of 10% and 13% also exist. For tax-exempt supplies, exports, intra-Community deliveries and reverse-charge cases the invoice needs the corresponding legal note instead of a regular VAT line.
-
What does reverse charge mean on an Austrian invoice? +
With reverse charge the tax liability shifts to the recipient. No VAT is shown on the invoice — instead a corresponding note is added. Reverse charge is common for cross-border B2B services within the EU.
-
Is the orangetable invoice generator free for Austrian invoices? +
Yes. Filling in the Austrian invoice template, generating the live A4 preview and downloading the PDF are free of charge. No signup is required. The editor interface is currently in German, but the form is mostly numeric and visual.
