From the 2026 reference year, Statistik Austria has introduced significant changes to Intrastat reporting thresholds. These updates will impact companies engaged in intra-EU trade with Austria.
New Intrastat Thresholds Applicable from 2026
Starting with the 2026 financial year, the following Intrastat thresholds will apply:
Arrivals Threshold (Imports into Austria)
- New threshold: EUR 5,000,000
- Previous threshold: EUR 1,100,000
Dispatches Threshold (Exports from Austria)
- New threshold: EUR 1,200,000
- Previous threshold: EUR 1,100,000
Intrastat Reporting Obligations: Who Is Affected?
Businesses that did not exceed the following thresholds in 2025 will be exempt from Intrastat reporting obligations in 2026:
- EUR 5,000,000 for arrivals
- EUR 1,200,000 for dispatches
This exemption simplifies compliance for many companies with lower trade volumes.
Austria Thresholds – 2025 vs 2026
| Trade Flow | Threshold 2025 | Threshold 2026 | Change |
|---|
| Arrivals (Imports) | EUR 1,100,000 | EUR 5,000,000 | Significant increase |
| Dispatches (Exports) | EUR 1,100,000 | EUR 1,200,000 | Moderate increase |
What Happens If You Exceed the Threshold in 2026?
If your company exceeds one of the thresholds during 2026:
- The Intrastat reporting obligation becomes effective immediately
- Reporting starts from the month the threshold is exceeded
- The obligation applies only to the relevant trade flow (arrivals or dispatches)
