E-Invoicing in Austria — e-Rechnung & Peppol

As of June 2026: e-invoicing to the Austrian federal government (B2G) has been mandatory since 1 January 2014 via e-Rechnung.gv.at; there is no general B2B mandate yet, though alignment with the EU ViDA framework is expected. Confirm current status with the BMF / Bundesrechenzentrum.

The Austrian Position

Austria was an early mover on B2G e-invoicing: since 1 January 2014, suppliers to the federal government must send structured electronic invoices through the federal portal e-Rechnung.gv.at, operated by the Bundesrechenzentrum (BRZ). Two formats are accepted — Austria's domestic ebInterface standard and the international Peppol BIS format, with delivery available over the Peppol network. There is currently no general B2B e-invoicing mandate; private-sector e-invoicing is voluntary. Austria is expected to align with the EU's VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) framework, which introduces cross-border digital reporting requirements later this decade, and a Peppol-based approach is anticipated for any future B2B regime.

How Invotify Helps

Invotify Pro exports Peppol BIS 3.0 and UBL 2.1 files aligned with EN 16931 — the Peppol format Austria's federal portal accepts alongside the domestic ebInterface standard. You transmit the exported document over the Peppol network through your access point; Invotify produces the structured data rather than acting as an access point itself. Note that Austria's national ebInterface format is not among Invotify's three standards-based exports, so confirm which format a given federal recipient requires. Adopting Peppol-ready invoicing positions you for any future B2B requirement. E-invoicing is a Pro feature.

E-Invoicing in Austria —
Frequently Asked Questions

Q01

Is B2B e-invoicing mandatory in Austria?

No. Only B2G is mandatory: suppliers to the federal government have had to send structured e-invoices since 1 January 2014. B2B e-invoicing is voluntary, though alignment with the EU ViDA framework is expected to bring cross-border digital reporting later this decade.

Q02

Which formats does the Austrian government accept?

The federal portal e-Rechnung.gv.at accepts Austria's domestic ebInterface format and the international Peppol BIS format, with delivery over the Peppol network. Invotify Pro produces the Peppol BIS 3.0 / UBL files; it does not generate the proprietary ebInterface format.

Q03

Can Invotify produce an Austrian e-invoice?

Invotify Pro exports Peppol BIS 3.0 and UBL 2.1, which Austria's federal portal accepts via Peppol. If a specific recipient requires the national ebInterface format instead, you would need a tool that outputs that proprietary format — confirm the recipient's accepted format first.

Q04

Will Austria introduce a B2B mandate?

No general domestic B2B mandate is in force yet. Austria is expected to align with the EU ViDA framework, which brings cross-border digital reporting requirements later this decade, with a Peppol-based approach anticipated. Confirm current plans with the BMF.

Q05

Which Invotify plan includes e-invoicing?

E-invoice export — UBL 2.1, CII, and Peppol BIS 3.0 — is part of Invotify Pro, which starts at €49/month. Pro also adds EU VAT (VIES) validation, teams, payments and advanced reports.
