SNI SAF-T Austria is a SAP-integrated solution designed to help businesses comply with Austria’s Standard Audit File for Tax (SAF-T AT) requirements. Introduced by decree BMF-010102/0002-IV/2/2009, SAF-T AT is based on the OECD-developed XML schema and includes transactional data exported from accounting systems. Although SAF-T AT is not required periodically, businesses must be technically prepared to generate and submit the SAF-T XML file upon request by the Austrian Ministry of Finance prior to a tax audit. Failure to comply may result in fines or criminal liability. SNI’s solution retrieves relevant data from SAP, maps and processes it, and generates machine-readable XML files that conform to the SAF-T AT structure.
