Invoicea Juros-AI product

What a compliant invoice must show in Austria.

The fields, the party identifiers, the exact statutory wording for each tax treatment and the EUR rule — each cited to the statute or the tax authority, not a summary of one.

The exact wording, by tax treatment

When no tax is charged, the invoice has to say why — in the words the law names. Each is linked to the statute or tax authority it was read from.

The format, and who sends it

A plain PDF still counts as the invoice in Austria; a structured e-invoice is accepted where the buyer asks for it.
