What does it mean?

To operate in Austria, your cash register system must comply with strict fiscal laws. This requires a seamless integration that automatically records every transaction, issues receipts with unique identification codes, and transmits VAT data to the Austrian fiscal authorities.

This article guides you through setting up your VAT rates, products, and price plans within our system to ensure full compliance with fiscal regulations. We'll cover everything from configuring VAT numbers and rates with the correct fiscal standards to applying specific VAT to products and prices. Additionally, we'll explain how to set up your receipt layouts to meet all mandatory display requirements.

 

What should I do?

VAT and receipt layout setup

  1. Set up the VAT: Configure the VAT with the correct blackbox in the backoffice.
  • 0% → FISKALTRUST_ZERO
  • 10% → FISKALTRUST_DISCOUNTED_1
  • 13% → FISKALTRUST_DISCOUNTED_2
  • 20% → FISKALTRUST_NORMAL

How to configure VAT Numbers and VAT Rates?

Make sure to select one of the FISKALTRUST_ Fiscal standards for each VAT rate.

2. Setting up the product level.

By default, prices will inherit the VAT rate assigned to their associated product. To set or adjust this:

  • Navigate to Setup > Products & Services > Products.
  • Edit the specific product you wish to configure.
  • Select the relevant VAT rate from the available options.

3. Setting up the price-specific VAT.

If a particular price requires a different VAT rate than its product, you can override the default:

  • Go to Setup > Products & Services > Prices.
  • Edit the specific price you want to adjust.
  • Assign the correct VAT rate directly to the price.

4. Set up a receipt layout for the product: This is mandatory.

How to configure the "Ticket/Receipt/Voucher Layout"

  • Ensure the typical receipt content, including owner and company name, address, and VAT information, is displayed.
  • It is suggested to add payment and VAT details to the receipt block.
  • To display the signature on your ticket layout, you'll need to use a text block and insert the specific token. Within the text block of your ticket layout, simply use the token ${BB_RID}. This will ensure the signature is printed on the ticket, f.e. ft123#123456789
