Four routes into Austria compared

Representative officeNo, the commercial register only records branch officesNot applicableFor mail and reachabilityContact office without its own business activity

Sources for the table, as of 3 September 2026. Commercial register entry and business address, including for branch offices: Austrian Commercial Register Act. GmbH share capital: Austrian Limited Liability Companies Act. FlexCo legal form and entry into force: Flexible Capital Company Act; its share capital follows from the subsidiary reference to the Limited Liability Companies Act. Whether a branch office exists in a given case is assessed by the commercial register court.

Business address and permanent establishment for tax purposes

Whether a permanent establishment for tax purposes arises in Austria follows from the applicable double taxation treaty and from your actual activity, not from the registered address. The treaties in force are published by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance. Your tax adviser makes the tax assessment.

No residence requirement for EU citizens

As an EU citizen, the freedom of establishment lets you set up a company in Austria without living there.

    Ich bin mit Postservice.at wirklich sehr zufrieden. Das Team ist freundlich, professionell und bei Rückfragen gut erreichbar. Besonders positiv finde ich, dass praktisch der gesamte Ablauf online funktioniert und deutlich unkomplizierter war, als ich ursprünglich erwartet hatte. Die Anmeldung der Geschäftsadresse in Wien ging schnell, die Unterlagen waren verständlich und auch bei Fragen zwischendurch bekommt man rasch eine hilfreiche Antwort. Insgesamt wirkt der gesamte Prozess sehr gut organisiert. Was mir ebenfalls wichtig war: Hinter der Geschäftsadresse steckt nicht einfach nur irgendein Briefkasten, sondern ein echtes Büro in 1010 Wien. Ich war auch selbst vor Ort und hatte einen sehr guten Eindruck. Alles wirkt seriös, ordentlich und professionell. Gerade wenn man eine Geschäftsadresse oder ein Virtual Office in Wien mit zuverlässigem Postservice sucht, finde ich das Angebot sehr gelungen. Online unkompliziert, persönlich gut erreichbar und vor Ort genauso professionell wie erwartet. Für mich bisher definitiv die richtige Entscheidung.

Frequently asked questions about expanding to Austria

Residence, tax, trade licence and mail: what founders from abroad ask us most.

No. As an EU citizen you can set up a company in Austria under the freedom of establishment without living there. All you need is a registered business address that is capable of receiving official service.

Yes. The Austrian commercial register records a branch office with its location and the business address relevant for service. Without an address at which authorities and courts can serve documents, the entry is not possible. A rented business address in Vienna meets that requirement. Source: Austrian Commercial Register Act, as of September 2026.

That depends on your individual situation. Whether a permanent establishment arises in Austria follows from the double taxation treaty between Germany and Austria and from your actual activity, not from the address alone. That assessment belongs to your tax adviser. Postservice.at does not make it.

As an EU citizen you can register almost any trade in Austria. Most free trades require no certificate of competence. Registration takes place at the trade authority for your location; for a Vienna address that is the municipal district office (Magistratisches Bezirksamt).

Yes. Thanks to remote online notarisation via Notarity you can set up the GmbH entirely online without travelling to Austria.

Incoming mail is scanned from the Plus plan onwards (79 euros net per month with annual billing) and sent to you by email on business days. From the Plus plan, we forward within the EU on request, postage included. With Plus, we forward your mail on request once a month in one batch; with Premium, once a week whenever there is mail. We handle urgent items individually by arrangement. After dispatch, transit time is up to the postal service: 1 to 3 working days within Austria, 3 to 7 working days within the EU, and depending on the country for the rest of Europe.
