It measures and tracks changes in regulations affecting 10 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 and resolving insolvency. In a series of annual reports Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 183 economies, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, over time. 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, 2011 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period January- December 2010). The data not only highlight the extent of obstacles to doing business; they also help identify the source of those obstacles, supporting policy makers in designing regulatory reform.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTACCOUNTINGACQUISITIONADMINISTRATIVE FEESADVERTISINGATTESTATIONAUTHENTICATIONBALANCE SHEETBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWBANKRUPTCY LAWSBORROWERBUSINESS ACTIVITIESBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONSBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECERTIFICATESCHAMBER OF COMMERCECOLLATERALCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTSCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWCOLLATERAL LAWSCOLLATERAL REGISTRYCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMMERCIAL REGISTRYCOMPANY INFORMATIONCOMPANY LAWSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONTRACTORSCOPYRIGHTCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMSCREDIT SOURCECREDITORSDATA TRANSMISSIONDEBTORDEBTSDEEDDEEDSDEFAULTSDEPOSITDERIVATIVEDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMAINE-MAILECONOMIC ACTIVITYELECTRICITYELECTRONIC FORMELECTRONIC SIGNATURESENFORCEMENT PROCEDURESEXPERT OPINIONFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFRAUDGOOD PRACTICEHOLDINGIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINCOME TAXINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONINSURANCEINTERFACEINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINVESTOR PROTECTIONINVESTOR PROTECTIONSISSUANCELAND OWNERSHIPLEGAL BASISLEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDERSLEVYLICENSESLIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLOCAL BUSINESSMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMANUFACTURINGMATERIALMENUMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDER PROTECTIONSMORTGAGEMORTGAGESMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNEW MARKETSNOTARIESNOTARYNOTARY PUBLICNOTARY PUBLICSONE-STOP SHOPONLINE REGISTRATIONORIGINAL ASSETSOVERHEADPERSONAL ASSETSPOSSESSORY SECURITYPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC REGISTRYPURCHASINGQUERIESQUERYREAL PROPERTYREGISTRATION FEEREGISTRIESREGISTRYREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPAYMENTRESULTSRETURNRETURNSSALESSALES AGREEMENTSECURITIESSECURITIES REGULATIONSSECURITY INTERESTSERVICE PROVIDERSSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSSTAMP DUTIESSTOCK EXCHANGETAXTAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBERTAX RATETAX RATESTAX RULESTAX SYSTEMTELEPHONETELEPHONE CONNECTIONTELEPHONE LINETRADE CREDITORSTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUSERSUSESVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWAREHOUSESReportWorld Bank10.1596/27178
