Austria Jahresabschluss

What is a Jahresabschluss and is it public?

The Jahresabschluss is the annual financial statement of an Austrian company, equivalent to the US annual report or year-end financial statements. It includes the balance sheet (Bilanz), income statement (Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung), and – for larger companies – notes and a management report. Austrian law requires GmbHs and AGs to file their Jahresabschluss with the Firmenbuch, where it becomes publicly accessible. Smaller companies have reduced disclosure obligations.

A profit and loss account is not always mandatory. Several factors play a role here, such as the form of the company, capital etc., according to which the company is obliged to publish information under § 221 UGB. According to the law, a small GmbH only has to submit an abbreviated balance sheet and a short appendix. A profit and loss account is not submitted in this case.
