About CONTAX WirtschaftstreuhandgmbH

Since 1989, when Rudolf Hopfgartner and Othmar Eberhart founded it, CONTAX has worked as a Viennese audit and tax advisory firm for small and medium-sized companies, with a head office on Seilerstätte and a separate accounting and payroll office on Kohlmarkt. Its website is published in German, English and Italian, and the firm presents itself as a reference point for Italian companies establishing themselves in Austria, including multinational Italian groups setting up in Vienna, Carinthia or Tyrol. That Italian service line covers the choice between a permanent establishment and a subsidiary, grants and bank financing, payroll for expatriate staff and construction-site establishments, transfer pricing, and direct VAT identification or fiscal representation for foreign companies. Core services are tax consultancy, bookkeeping, annual accounts, audits, payroll, international tax planning and restructuring advice. CONTAX is a member of the GGI Geneva Group International alliance.
