Austria Types of Company:

The Austrian government's decision to reduce the corporate tax rate from 34% to 25% from 2005 led to a 30% increase in successfully concluded investment projects.

In addition to the corporate tax cut to one of the lowest levels in the EU, the reforms also contained a number of measures designed to reduce the tax burden on multinational firms using Austria as a base for regional headquarters. Austria offers significant fiscal concessions to corporates through holding companies, foundations and some tax-privileged investment incentives.
