General information

Fulfillment of the basic tax requirements for participation in trade fairs in Austria for exhibitors from abroad

Exhibitors who do not have a place of residence or registered office, a habitual residence, or a permanent establishment in Austria at the time of the trade fair and who generate sales in Austria that do not result in a transfer of tax liability (i.e., in particular domestic deliveries, other services to private individuals), are required to register with the Graz-Stadt tax office and submit advance VAT returns and annual VAT returns.

To do so, they need a VAT ID number, which must be applied for as follows:

Form Verf19 (German) or Verf19E (English): Questionnaire for the issuance of a tax number/VAT ID number, which must subsequently be stated on all correspondence addressed to the tax office.

Copy of the extract from the commercial register (“business license”) or the articles of association for corporations.

Further information is available at: VAT assessment procedure

We recommend that our exhibitors allow at least 3 weeks before the start of the trade fair to ensure timely processing.

You can find all the information here: Information on sales tax refunds (bmf.gv.at)
