Tax liability

Universities are equated with the national government in matter of taxes. TU Wien does not costitute a commercial business and is therefore not liable for VAT. On the invoices issued by TU Wien no VAT is indicated. TU Wien can therefore not deduct pre-paid VAT that other companies have invoiced it for.
This tax advantage, however, only applies to the extent that TU Wien is acting in the framework of its statutorily granted functions (teaching and research).
