Austria introduced fiscalization in 2016, implementing a combined hardware- and software-based model. The system requires the mandatory use of an Electronic Journal (DEP) and the application of a digital signature to ensure the integrity, authenticity, and traceability of recorded transactions. The official currency is the euro.
Austria
The two major elements of fiscalization in Austria are the Electronic Journal (DEP) and the Security System, which signs transactions. The DEP has to be written by each POS, and is divided in two parts: the DEP7 and DEP131. The DEP7 contains information from the fiscal transaction chain, and the DEP131 contains basic records of a company. The Security System can be hardware-based such as a chip card reader or USB stick, and software-based in the form of a cloud service.
Type of fiscalization: Hardware/Software
