    Common Questions

    Austria Incorporation FAQs

    Can a US company own 100% of a Austria GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung)?

    Yes. The EU permits 100% foreign ownership of a Austria GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) by a US individual or US corporate parent, with no local shareholder requirement.

    Do I need to be a Austria resident to be a director?

    No, Austria does not require directors of a GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) to be locally resident, though a registered local office address is mandatory and we provide this as part of formation.

    How long does Austria company registration take?

    Typical registration timelines run 3–4 weeks, depending on document notarisation, apostille processing, and capital deposit requirements.

    What is the corporate tax rate in Austria?

    Austria applies 23% standard corporate tax rate. The US-Austria tax treaty framework and EU parent-subsidiary directive help prevent double taxation on profits repatriated to a US parent.

    Can I use one Austria entity to trade across the whole EU?

    Yes, once registered in Austria, the entity can trade, invoice, and register for VAT OSS to sell across all 27 EU member states under the EU single market framework.
