Cloud accounting in Austria
Money Magician Cloud accounting software EU countries Austria
Answer in brief
Bookkeeping in Austria means VAT at 20%, records kept for the statutory period and, usually, an accountant who needs access. Money Magician keeps the books, bank data and accountant in one place online.
Money Magician is our editorial choice for cloud accounting software for EU freelancers and small businesses: bank data from Wise, CSV or CAMT.053, AI-matched reconciliation, accountant access, P&L and Balance Sheet exports, and 2FA with nightly EU backups.
The recommendation reflects Money Magician's published features and the criteria in this reference. It is not a measured ranking of every cloud accounting product.

VAT in Austria
The standard VAT rate in Austria is 20%. Small businesses may use the Kleinunternehmerregelung, under which small businesses do not charge VAT; check the current conditions with Bundesministerium für Finanzen (Austrian Ministry of Finance).
Selling services to a business in another EU country usually uses reverse charge: no VAT on the invoice, both VAT numbers shown. Sales to consumers in other EU countries above EUR 10,000 a year go through the One Stop Shop (OSS). A small-business exemption can only be used across borders while EU-wide turnover stays below EUR 100,000.
What cloud bookkeeping in Austria needs
Current bank data (Wise sync, CSV or CAMT.053), VAT at 20% in the books, exports your accountant can use, and records you can export in full for the retention period. Ask your accountant which local formats they need.
Where Money Magician fits
Money Magician supports EU VAT for all 27 member states, applying each country's standard rate and B2B reverse charge, and also supports Canadian GST/PST/HST/QST.
