Austria: The Federal Ministry of Finance warns against fake payment requests
Attention: Fraudsters charge fees for company register entries
have recently had their company registered in the commercial register should be particularly careful .
Fraudsters are currently sending payment requests with the logo of the Ministry of Finance and charging fees for registering new companies in the commercial register .
Entrepreneurs are thus misled into transferring amounts to Slovakian accounts. Such fake letters occur again and again in various forms.
The Federal Ministry of Finance generally does not charge any registration fees for registers , only issues its own payment slips and only specifies Austrian accounts. You can also find detailed information about any payments in FinanzOnline .
There are also cases of fraud in the area of UID numbers.
However, there are no paid registrations in a supposedly Europe-wide register for UID numbers, as the EU has a free, Europe-wide query system. There should therefore be no registration fees here.
Please check any payment requests carefully; The official account numbers can be found under the respective authority contacts on the homepage bmf.gv.at > Offices & Authorities
