What is SAF-T in Austria?
Austria introduced its own Standard Audit File for Tax, or SAF-T, in 2009.
With the decree of 20 March 2009, BMF -010102 / 0002-IV / 2/2009, the previously permissible data formats were expanded to include the XML format in the form of the SAF-T. The SAF-T is developed by the OECD. It contains transactional data exported from an accounting system. Both the data format and content are specified by the XML Schema Definition (XSD).
