About Company Registration Austria

Every figure carries its source. A number published here comes with the paragraph it sits in, the Bundesgesetzblatt that put it there, and the date that version took effect. The text is read in the consolidated federal law published as open data by the Bundeskanzleramt, or on the site of the authority that administers the rule, never in another provider's summary of it.

Where a statute has more than one version in force, the page names the one it read. Austrian court tariffs and tax rates are routinely amended months before they bite, so a figure without a date is half a figure.

Where no source states something, the page says so. The courts publish no Firmenbuch processing time, so none is printed here, and no decision belonging to a register court, a tax office, a regulator or a bank is promised in advance.

Nothing is published until a person has checked it against the source named beside it, and scripts run before every build: one fails the build if a tracked figure appears without a citation next to it, one compares the same figure across every page, and one reads each government page cited to confirm it still says what the link promises.

We are not a law firm, a notary or a licensed tax adviser. WTBG 2017 § 2 Abs. 1 reserves advice on a taxpayer's own position, bookkeeping and payroll to a licensed Steuerberater or Bilanzbuchhalter, and § 124 Abs. 1 Z 1 makes offering that work an offence in itself, so it is not offered here. Where an engagement needs a reserved act, whether a notarial deed, a tax opinion or a set of books, the licensed professional carries it out and is named to you. We prepare, we file, we coordinate.

The pages here set out what Austrian law provides and what follows from it. None of them is a recommendation about your own position. Law changes, and every figure here therefore carries the version it came from and the date that version took effect. Who contracts with you, and under which law, is in the terms of service; what happens to your data is in the privacy policy.

The hero photograph, re-briefed 2026-09-18. This page had no photograph at all, which also left it with no Open Graph image, so one was added. The first brief asked for printed matter on a working surface and scripts/fetch_photos.py returned a styled domestic interior with a pastel laptop and a vase of flowers: neither what the alt text described nor what this page is. The brief now asks for a facade, which is a concept the sourcing vocabulary actually holds. Keep the wording of a brief inside the vocabulary's own concepts, and keep explanations out of the Brief line, because the script reads that line to build its query and an explanatory sentence mentioning a desk sends it looking for one.
