In Austria, it is necessary to report a cash register start-up to the Austrian Ministry of Finance via Finanz Online (FON).

In order to be able to use the automatic reporting process in efsta, you must first create a so-called "web service user for cash registers" for the RKSV in the online finance web portal. One FON web service user is needed per company (UID).

Setting up the FON Web Service User
  1. Log into FinanzOnline with your access data.
  2. Select the "Admin" - "Single User" menu. At this section, you can assign the user identification, i.e. the name of a new user. This may be any name with 8-12 characters, which must contain at least one letter AND one number. Then enter an alphanumeric term in the PIN field with a length of 8-128 digits, containing at least one number and one letter. In the next field, please repeat your new PIN for confirmation.
warning

Special characters or umlauts must not be used for the user name.

  1. Click the "Create" button to set up a new user for the cash register web service. The corresponding user identification (TID) is then immediately displayed on the page.
  2. This specifically created user only has authorization to access the cash register web service and cannot be used for any other web services or to access FinanzOnline, with the exception of the session web service.

The FON web service user and their access data must then be entered in the efsta Portal so that the mandatory reports to the tax authorities are made automatically:

  • Select COMPANY in the left menu bar
  • By clicking on the setting icon you can display the details of your company and add the FON data
