Document background
The Commercial Receipt is a fundamental document in Austrian business operations, required by law for all business transactions. It serves multiple purposes: providing proof of purchase for customers, maintaining tax compliance, and meeting fiscal reporting requirements. Austrian law mandates specific content including the business's tax identification number (UID), detailed VAT breakdown, and security features compliant with the Registrierkassensicherheitsverordnung (RKSV). The document must be issued immediately upon completion of a transaction and stored in both physical and digital formats as per Austrian record-keeping requirements. Commercial Receipts are particularly important for tax audits, warranty claims, and maintaining transparent business operations.
