VAT-free invoices to the EU, the ZM on time and your tax reserve — no spreadsheets, no year-end surprise.
§ 11 Abs 1a UStG 1994 requires the recipient's VAT-ID on every invoice that shifts the tax liability — this provision knows no monetary threshold. The €10,000 threshold usually recalled sits in a different provision and concerns ordinary invoices with VAT shown. Stating the tax amount separately on such an invoice is expressly prohibited by the provision.
Art. 21 Abs 3 UStG 1994 (Anhang Binnenmarkt) sets the deadline for the Zusammenfassende Meldung at the end of the FOLLOWING month — two weeks ahead of the UVA for the same period. Under Art. 21 Abs 9 a late filing allows a surcharge of up to 1% of the reported base, capped at €2,200.
Under § 3a Abs 6 UStG the service is supplied where the client is. An invoice carrying Austrian VAT is a mistake noticed late.
Every B2B service into the EU belongs in the Zusammenfassende Meldung by the end of the following month. Being late costs up to 1 % of the base, capped at €2,200.
Platform, Stripe, EU bank — reconciling turnover and working out the reserve becomes a job of its own.
Zero rate, a field for the client's UID and the note on the shift of tax liability — you don't look up the wording each time.
The Meldung is built from invoices to clients holding a UID in EU countries — grouped by recipient, not typed from a list.
Incoming payments land in one set of books, and the ESt/SVS reserve is computed from actuals rather than a guess.
