Fulfilment of basic tax requirements for foreign trade fair exhibitors participating in Austria

Exhibitors who, at the time of the trade fair, have neither a domicile or registered office, habitual residence, nor a permanent establishment in Austria, and who engage in sales in Austria for which no transfer of tax liability (i.e. in particular domestic deliveries, other services to private individuals) is applicable, are obliged to register with the Graz City Tax Office and to submit advance VAT returns and annual VAT returns.

A VAT number (=sales tax identification number) is required for this purpose. This can be applied for as follows:

Form Verf19 (German) or Verf19E (English): Questionnaire for tax number/VATID number issue, which must be stated on all subsequent correspondence sent to the tax office.Copy of the extract from the commercial register ("trade license") or the articles of association for corporations.
Further information is available at: VAT assessment

We recommend exhibitors plan a lead time of at least 3 weeks before the start of the trade fair to ensure timely processing.
