Quick VAT thresholds update: Austria and Bulgaria

Austria

Austria is proposing to increase its VAT registration threshold from €30,000 to €35,000 for small businesses. Non-resident businesses must VAT register on their first sale, and do not benefit from this threshold.

This comes after the Federal Council (Bundesrat) approved the draft tax reform bill 10 October 2019.
