WHAT THE LAW SAYS

The till obligation starts at €15,000, and card payments count as cash

§ 131b BAO ties the cash-register obligation to an annual turnover of €15,000 per business, provided cash takings exceed €7,500 a year. Payment by debit or credit card counts as a CASH transaction for this threshold. The obligation begins with the fourth month following the period in which the thresholds were first exceeded.

Water at the table is 10%, juice at the same table is 20%

§ 10 Abs 2 UStG 1994 reduces the rate to 10% not for “drinks” in general but only for what Anlage 1 names item by item. Water is listed there; fruit and vegetable juices are excluded in so many words. So a glass of water at the table carries 10%, while a glass of juice at the same table carries 20%.
