It measures and tracks changes in regulations affecting eleven areas in the life cycle of a business: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, resolving insolvency and employing workers. Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 185 economies, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, over time. The indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms have worked, where and why. This economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for Austria. To allow useful comparison, it also provides data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2012 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period January - December 2011).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTACCOUNTINGACQUISITIONADMINISTRATIVE FEESADVERTISINGATTESTATIONAUTHENTICATIONBALANCE SHEETBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWBORROWERBUSINESS ACTIVITIESBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESSESBUYERCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECERTIFICATESCHAMBER OF COMMERCECOLLATERALCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWCOLLATERAL REGISTRYCOMMERCECOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMMERCIAL REGISTRYCOMPANY INFORMATIONCOMPANY LAWSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONTRACTORSCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT SOURCECREDITORSDATA TRANSMISSIONDEBTORDEBTSDEEDDEEDSDEFAULTSDEPOSITDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMAINE-MAILECONOMIC ACTIVITYELECTRICITYELECTRONIC FORMELECTRONIC SIGNATURESENFORCEMENT PROCEDURESEXPERT OPINIONFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFRAUDGOOD PRACTICEIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINCOME TAXINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSPECTIONINSTALLATIONINSURANCEINTERFACEINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINVESTOR PROTECTIONISSUANCELAND OWNERSHIPLEGAL BASISLEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDING DECISIONSLEVYLICENSELIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLOCAL BUSINESSMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMANUFACTURINGMATERIALMENUMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDER PROTECTIONSMORTGAGEMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNEW MARKETSNOTARYNOTARY PUBLICONE-STOP SHOPONLINE REGISTRATIONORIGINAL ASSETSOVERHEADPERSONAL ASSETSPOSSESSORY SECURITYPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC REGISTRYPURCHASINGQUERIESREAL PROPERTYREGISTRATION FEEREGISTRIESREGISTRYREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPAYMENTRESULTSRETURNSALESSALES AGREEMENTSECURITIESSECURITIES REGULATIONSSECURITY INTERESTSERVICE PROVIDERSSHAREHOLDERSTAMP DUTIESSTOCK EXCHANGETAXTAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBERTAX RATETAX RULESTECHNICAL STANDARDSTELEPHONETELEPHONE CONNECTIONTELEPHONE LINETRADE CREDITORSTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSLATIONTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUSERSUSESVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEReportWorld Bank10.1596/26603
