We handle everything: business registration, tax setup, tax filing for the first year and ongoing support, so you can focus on your freelancing business instead of fighting with Austrian authorities who don't speak English – all for a fixed price.

Let me guess…
You moved to Austria. Maybe for freelancing. Maybe for your partner. Maybe because you like it there and you need to find a way to freelance legally.
So you Google "how to register as a freelancer in Austria."
You find blog posts, Facebook groups or a generic ChatGPT advice….
Everyone gives you different information. Half of it's in German. The other half contradicts itself.
You try calling the WKO. They speak fast German.
You try the tax office. They hand you forms with words like "Umsatzsteuervoranmeldung" and "Sozialversicherungsanstalt."
…and you most probably have no idea what they mean.

Mistake #1: Starting Without Proper Business License
You get fined if you work without the right license
Your residence permit can get denied when you apply to renew it
You might lose your right to work in Austria completely

Mistake #2: Misclassification as Self-Employed
Austria checks if you're actually an employee pretending to be self-employed
If they catch you, you pay back all the social security you didn't pay
The bill includes taxes, insurance, and penalties which adds up really fast
Mistake #3: Working Without Proper Registration
New freelancers often get shocked by surprise bills of €1,000+ from social security because they didn't know they needed to register or pay quarterly
When you file your taxes late or miss payment deadlines, you pay an extra 10% penalty on top of what you already owe
Most freelancers overpay thousands in taxes every year because they don't know which business expenses they're allowed to deduct in Austria

Below, you can see the most frequently asked questions we’ve gathered after working with over 400 foreign freelancers just like you.
No. Everything is in English. That's the entire point.

That's what the free consultation is for. We'll figure it out together.
Most clients are fully registered within 5-7 days.
We can still help. We'll assess your situation and get you compliant without triggering penalties.
No. We handle business registration and taxes only. You need legal right to work in Austria already. We can refer you to immigration lawyers if needed.
You can continue with Pascal for ongoing tax support (different packages available) or manage it yourself. No obligation.
That's why we include ongoing support. If you suddenly need VAT registration or need to adjust SVS prepayments, we handle it.
Yes. Very common. We'll structure things correctly so you're compliant in both places without double taxation.
Dependent visas sometimes allow freelance work, sometimes don't—depends on the visa type. We'll verify during consultation.
