Same rules as Germany
Austria follows the EU invoicing directives: sequential number, both parties, dates and VAT breakdown.
Gross pricing
Customer-facing prices include VAT, so the invoice derives the net amount from the gross total.
B2B references
Corporate clients often require a purchase order number and cost centre on the invoice.
