Information for e-Invoice
Guideline for invoicing and contribution/transmission
To support affiliates of the federal government in the implementation of the requirements of an e-Invoice for the public sector a guideline for invoicing and contribution/transmission was developed.
The guideline reflects the essential information available of e-Invoices for the public sector on the site www.e-rechnung.gv.at and provides information about the legal framework, the optimal implementation variant as well as all necessary technical and organizational measures for the implementation.
