What does Infra One cover for Austrian fund launches?

Infra One handles the complete setup — service AIFM arrangement, FMA registration support, EuVECA labelling, partnership documentation, and digital investor onboarding — at zero setup and legal fees. Ongoing administration, reporting, and compliance are included in the annual platform fee.

What fund structure do Austrian VC managers typically use?

Austrian VC funds are typically structured as a GmbH & Co. KG (limited partnership with a limited liability company as general partner), registered as an alternative investment fund under the Austrian AIFM Act (AIFMG). With a EuVECA label, the fund can access the EU marketing passport while benefiting from a lighter regulatory regime than full AIFMD authorisation.

What does FMA registration involve for emerging managers?

Managers below the AIFMD thresholds register with the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) rather than seeking full authorisation. Registered AIFMs are subject to lighter requirements but cannot market cross-border under the AIFMD passport. To gain EU marketing access, emerging managers can register for the EuVECA label through the FMA, or appoint a service AIFM that holds a full licence.

How long does it take to launch an Austrian VC fund?

With Infra One and a service AIFM arrangement, the typical timeline from engagement to first close is 5 to 7 weeks. This includes fund structuring, FMA registration or notification, drafting the partnership agreement, service provider appointments, and investor KYC. The EuVECA registration process can run in parallel.

How is an Austrian KG fund taxed?

Austrian partnerships (KG) are tax-transparent — the fund itself is not regarded as a taxpayer. Income is allocated directly to investors and taxed at their level. Capital gains from shares and securities are generally taxed at 27.5% for individual investors. There is no separate fund-level corporate income tax.

Can I market an Austrian fund to investors across the EU?

Yes. With a EuVECA registration, the fund can be marketed to professional investors throughout the EU via the EuVECA passport. This requires investing at least 70% of aggregate capital in qualifying portfolio undertakings (typically unlisted SMEs). Private investors may also invest subject to a minimum commitment of EUR 100,000.

Compliance, tax filings, investor reporting — the stuff that buries first-time managers is exactly what Infra One takes off your plate. We launched with proper infrastructure from day one.

Austrian tax treatment of PE funds and carried interest: what GPs need to know

Austria taxes carried interest at 27.5% as capital income — if you structure it correctly. Get the carry vehicle wrong and you are looking at progressive rates up to 55%. Here is how the rules work.

Austrian depositary bank requirements: what fund managers need in place from day one

Austrian law mandates a depositary for licensed AIFMs, and even registered managers face pressure to appoint one. Here is how the depositary requirement works, what it costs, and how to structure it.
