Austria’s highly developed and resilient economy sustains high levels of prosperity. Openness to global trade and investment is firmly institutionalized and supported by a relatively efficient entrepreneurial framework. As a member of the EU, Austria is also a member of the Euro zone. Austria is a member of the United Nations, a party to the WTO, member of the OECD, the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation and the International Development Association.

 

Austria’s main advantages are its economic, political and labour stability, its highly skilled workforce, a high standard of living, internal security and its well-established business ties to Central and Eastern Europe as well as far-reaching integration in the world economy. Austria is one of the safest countries in the world. This goes for politics as well as for the business climate, a low crime rate and the legal system – a framework companies can rely on.

 

Austria has a strong tradition of reliable protection of property rights, and the legal system is transparent and provides effective protection for the property and contractual rights of nationals and foreigners. Effective anti-corruption measures are in force. The land registry is a reliable and publicly accessible system for recording interests in property. Apart from that, Austria is an attractive location from a tax perspective as it provides a competitive corporate income tax rate of 25% with an effective rate that is competitive due to several tax reliefs even in comparison to other countries with lower nominal rates.

 

Additional benefits come from several tax incentives, most notably for R&D expenditure, education expenditure and incentives for groups of companies and the lack of wealth, inheritance and trade taxes. Not only international companies but also smaller foreign firms with subsidiaries can reap enormous advantages from the group taxation provisions in relocating operations to Austria, especially in establishing headquarters for the Eastern European region.
