Under § 34 of the KommAustria Act (KOG, BGBl I No 32/2001 as amended), the telecommunications industry includes those operators/providers of public communications networks/services which are required to report such services under § 15 TKG 2003.
The expenses incurred by RTR’s Telecommunications Division are covered by financial contributions as well as funds from Austria’s federal budget.
Financial contributions are to be calculated and collected on the basis of each operator/provider’s revenues in relation to the overall revenues in the specific industry. All revenues earned in Austria from the provision of telecommunications services are to be included in these calculations.
The guidelines enclose a list of the specific revenues which are subject to financial contributions.
In order to settle the accounts for financial contributions in 2023 and to calculate the financial contribution due from your company, we would ask you to report your actual revenues from January 1 through December 31, 2023 by 31 May 2024 at the latest. If we do not receive the necessary data from you by that time, we will assume that you are willing to accept RTR's estimate of your revenues (cf § 34 Par 10 KOG).
Furthermore we draw the attention to the fact that loudly § 34 Par 14 KOG the RTR Ltd or the auditors commissioned by it, is to be given by request information and to be granted in reasonable cases and in the necessary magnitude examination in recording and books.
Please submit your actual revenues 2023 electronically via the RTR web site (https://egov.rtr.gv.at).
