Notification Bundle for Austria

Tax office notifications and signature card replacement as a service.

In Austria, fiscal systems must submit mandatory notifications to FinanzOnline and regularly replace signature cards. The Notification Bundle combines both into a single subscription, managed centrally through the fiskaltrust Portal.

Why the Notification Bundle is required

Austrian fiscalisation law requires ongoing notifications to FinanzOnline and the regular replacement of signature cards. These obligations apply to all active cash registers and security devices.

Missing notifications or delayed card replacement can lead to compliance risks, operational disruption and additional effort for POS dealers and merchants.

The fiskaltrust Notification Bundle provides a structured, recurring solution for these legal requirements.

Key points

Mandatory FinanzOnline notifications based on fiscal events
Legally required replacement of signature cards
Fixed deadlines and recurring obligations
Risk increases with scale and manual handling

Signature cards in Austria must be replaced no later than May 2027. The Notification Bundle handles this automatically.

Why the Notification Bundle is required

The Notification Bundle is a subscription that covers mandatory tax office notifications and signature card lifecycle management in Austria.

ft.Card-as-a-Service

The Notification Bundle includes the ft.Card as a managed service. The card is based on ACOSID 4.1 and produced by Austriacard.

After twelve months, an entitlement to a replacement card is included as part of the active subscription, for example in response to updated regulatory requirements. This also applies in the event of card defects or certification changes, with card lifecycle management handled within the subscription.

How it works in practice

Step 1

Activate the Notification Bundle in the fiskaltrust Portal. Select operator and location. Multiple locations can be activated at once.

Step 2

The ft.Card is delivered to the specified location. The Notification Bundle subscription is active.

Step 3

Insert the ft.Card and start the middleware. No manual personalisation is required.

Step 4

The start receipt triggers secure personalisation automatically. FinanzOnline notifications are executed by the Portal based on fiscal events.
