Guideline for invoicing and contribution/transmission

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.
