On 1 January 2010, the Austrian public administration launched a one-stop-shop Business Service Portal called ‘Unternehmensserviceportal (USP)’. The portal aims to serve as a single entry point for businesses to the administration. By offering information and transaction services, it intends to help businesses to fulfil their legal obligations and to reduce their administrative burdens. In accordance with the Unternehmensserviceportalgesetz (USPG), the Federal Ministry of Finance assigned the Federal Computing Centre [Bundesrechenzentrum GmbH] with the task of setting up and operating USP.gv.at. Based on business situations, e.g. Starting up [Gründung], the USP provides neutral information on an inter-administrative level. Businesses which are registered with the USP are able to conduct transactions with government authorities by using applications such as FinanzOnline or ELDA via the USP. Furthermore, user management is available for registered businesses.
