# Austria EPR report due date 2026 Last verified: November 4, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/austria/deadlines Austria has 10 verified packaging EPR deadlines in the Instica data, reviewed on November 4, 2026, the first falling August 12, 2026. The kinds of date are registration deadline, other date, report deadline. Each carries the period it covers and a quoted source, and you sign and submit every filing yourself. Austria has 10 verified deadlines in the Instica data. Verified means that the date or rule was read from a primary source on the retrieval date shown beside it, with the quote kept in the language of the source. A date that no primary source states is not shown as a date at all: it appears further down as not yet published, with the reason. By shape, the entries are 2 with a fixed calendar date, 8 stated as a rule in words. The table lists them in date order, then by kind. The sections after it take each date in turn, then explain what the kinds of date ask of a producer, how to read a yearly rule or a month-only rule, and what to prepare before the day arrives. ## Austria EPR deadlines at a glance **Austria: verified deadlines, with kind, period and source** | Date or rule | Kind | Period covered | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [January 1, 2023](#ar-appointment-2023-date) | [Registration deadline](#ar-appointment-2023-kind) | Not stated | [ris.bka.gv.at](https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/GeltendeFassung.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnormen&Gesetzesnummer=20008902) | | [Within two months of first putting household packaging on the market](#system-contract-2-months-rule) | [Registration deadline](#system-contract-2-months-kind) | Not stated | [ris.bka.gv.at](https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/GeltendeFassung.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnormen&Gesetzesnummer=20008902) | | [15 March following each calendar year](#annual-15-march-rule) | [Report](#annual-15-march-kind) | [preceding calendar year](#annual-15-march-period) | [ris.bka.gv.at](https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/GeltendeFassung.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnormen&Gesetzesnummer=20008902) | | [At least once a year, by 15 March](#carrier-bags-15-march-rule) | [Report](#carrier-bags-15-march-kind) | [preceding calendar year](#carrier-bags-15-march-period) | [ogd.ris.bka.gv.at](https://ogd.ris.bka.gv.at/Dokumente/Bundesnormen/NOR40239316/NOR40239316.html) | | [15 March following each calendar year](#recyclate-report-15-march-rule) | [Report](#recyclate-report-15-march-kind) | [preceding calendar year](#recyclate-report-15-march-period) | [ogd.ris.bka.gv.at](https://ogd.ris.bka.gv.at/Dokumente/Bundesnormen/NOR40255807/NOR40255807.html) | | [Within three months after each calendar year (by 31 March)](#reusable-only-annual-report-rule) | [Report](#reusable-only-annual-report-kind) | [preceding calendar year](#reusable-only-annual-report-period) | [ogd.ris.bka.gv.at](https://ogd.ris.bka.gv.at/Dokumente/Bundesnormen/NOR40255803/NOR40255803.html) | | [Within three months after each calendar year (by 31 March)](#self-importer-annual-report-rule) | [Report](#self-importer-annual-report-kind) | [preceding calendar year](#self-importer-annual-report-period) | [ogd.ris.bka.gv.at](https://ogd.ris.bka.gv.at/Dokumente/Bundesnormen/NOR40240496/NOR40240496.html) | | [End of a calendar quarter](#ar-change-quarter-end-rule) | [Other date](#ar-change-quarter-end-kind) | Not stated | [ogd.ris.bka.gv.at](https://ogd.ris.bka.gv.at/Dokumente/Bundesnormen/NOR40240515/NOR40240515.html) | ## Each verified date and what it asks of you #### Registration deadline: January 1, 2023 [The registration deadline is January 1, 2023.](#ar-appointment-2023-date) Note from the source: [Foreign distance sellers must have appointed a Bevollmächtigter for packaging put on the market from 1 Jan 2023.](#ar-appointment-2023-notes) > haben für ab dem 1.

With 10 verified deadlines it ranks 1 of 30 by the number of entries (rank 1 has the most). By the first dated entry in 2026, August 12, 2026, it ranks 17 of 30, sharing that day with 12 other places. In Europe the earliest first date in 2026 belongs to Norway (January 22, 2026) and the latest to Germany (December 31, 2026). Closest in time to the first date of Austria, measured against the other places in Europe: Belgium (August 12, 2026, the same day); Bulgaria (August 12, 2026, the same day); Cyprus (August 12, 2026, the same day). Neighbours on the map that have a dated entry in 2026, compared with the first date of Austria: Switzerland (February 28, 2026, 165 days earlier); Czechia (August 12, 2026, the same day); Germany (December 31, 2026, 141 days later); Hungary (August 12, 2026, the same day). Across all 48 places with a verified deadline in the Instica data, whatever the region, 10 entries for Austria sits against a median of 3 per place, and 47 places have fewer. The first dated entry of Austria in 2026, August 12, 2026, ranks 31 of 45 places with a dated entry, level with 12 others; the earliest anywhere is Colorado (January 1, 2026) and the latest is Germany (December 31, 2026). ## Austria: each kind of date against Europe Each kind of date that Austria has in 2026 is set below against the other places in Europe that have a dated entry of the same kind. The rank counts places with an earlier date, so rank 1 is the earliest. Other date: Austria has August 12, 2026. Of the 26 places in Europe with a dated other date in 2026, it ranks 1. The earliest is Austria (August 12, 2026) and the latest is Slovakia (August 12, 2026). ## What each kind of date means #### Registration deadline A registration deadline is the date by which a producer has to be on the register, or signed up with the programme, before it places covered packaging on the market. Who has to register depends on the place: it is often the brand owner, the importer or the marketplace, and the quote under each date shows the wording. Instica reads the date from the source and shows it beside the period it opens. The registration itself is something you do in the official registry. #### Other date Some dates in the source are neither a registration, a report nor a payment, for example a date from which a rule applies or a notice period. They are listed with the same source and quote as every other date, and the note beside each one says what it is. #### Report A report deadline is the date by which the packaging quantities for a stated period have to reach the receiving office or programme. The period covered is shown with the date, because the same report can be due a few months after the period ends. Instica measures and estimates the weights, prepares the file in the layout of the recipient and shows you the numbers; you sign and submit it in the official portal. ## How dates, yearly rules and month-only rules read A fixed date is shown as the source gives it, formatted for your language. It is a calendar day, not a time of day, and it applies in the local time of the office that receives the filing. Where a fixed date is the first of a yearly series, the entry says so. A rule stated in words, for example a number of months after first placing packaging on the market, depends on a date that only you know. The wording is shown as the source gives it, and the entry stays out of the calendar feed. Dates in this data can be revised by the programme or the authority. Each entry shows the day it was retrieved, so you can see how old it is, and a newer source always wins over this page. ## Dates the sources have not published yet Austria: the data lists no entry that is still pending. Every deadline above is verified. ## Who sets and receives these dates Austria: Registration runs through [Register nach § 22 AWG 2002 (Bevollmächtigter entry) and contract with an approved collection and recycling system](#registry); the party that registers is described as [The Austrian Bevollmächtigter registers for the foreign distance seller; a primary obligated party concludes a participation contract with a system within two months of first putting household packaging on the market](#who-registers). The dates above are the ones that registry and its programme publish, so they are the ones your filings are measured against. Producers meet the duty through [one of several producer responsibility organisations](#organisation-model); the organisations named in the data are [Altstoff Recycling Austria AG (ARA)](#organisation-names); membership of the organisation is required. Programmes can publish their own dates, such as invoice days, next to the dates of the authority, and both kinds of date are listed when a source states them. ## The file that goes with the date Austria: the recipient has not yet published a file layout for these reports, so the data holds no layout to show. Instica does not fill the gap with a guess; the report-format page records what is still open. When the layout is published, Instica prepares the file in it from your measured and estimated quantities, and you upload it yourself. Open the Austria report-format page ## Preparing before the date 1. Check whether you have to register at all, and with whom, before the registration date arrives; the first report cannot be filed without it. 2. Count the packaging you place on the market in the period the date covers. Weigh a sample of each pack, record the material of each part and note where each weight comes from: measured, supplied by your supplier, estimated or declared. 3. Group the weights the way the recipient groups them. The report-format page for this place lists the columns, the units and the rounding the file expects. 4. Estimate the fee from the published rate schedule, if the programme charges by weight or material, and keep the working so you can explain every figure. 5. Read the source quote under the date once more, because the programme can change a day or a period between reviews. 6. Sign in to the official portal yourself, check the prepared file and submit it. Instica stores no portal credentials and files nothing for you. ## Add these dates to your calendar 2 of the 10 verified dates for Austria have a day in the source and are in the calendar feed. Subscribe once and your calendar adds new dates after each review. Every event carries the source address of the date, so you can open the page the date comes from. Entries without a day stay on this page. Interactive tool: Deadline calendar feed (ICS) (works on the web page) ## Questions about Austria EPR deadlines ### When is the Austria EPR report due? The data lists these report dates for Austria: 15 March following each calendar year; At least once a year, by 15 March; 1 June each year, for the preceding full calendar year; 15 March following each calendar year; Within three months after each calendar year (by 31 March); Within three months after each calendar year (by 31 March). Read the period each one covers in the table above, and open the source to confirm the day before you file. ### Which period does a Austria deadline cover? The sources describe these periods: preceding calendar year. A report is usually filed after the period it covers ends, so the date and the period are different things and both are shown. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Instica submit the report for me? No. Instica measures, estimates and prepares the figures and the file. You sign in to the official portal, check the file and submit it yourself, and Instica never stores your portal credentials. ### How do I add the Austria dates to my calendar? Use the calendar block on this page: download the file or subscribe with the feed address. Each event has the day, the kind of date and the address of the source. Dates that the source gives only as a month or in words are not in the feed. ### What if a source changes a date after this review? The source wins. Every entry shows the day it was retrieved. Check the source address before you act, and use the next review of this page for the change. ## How to read this page > **Estimate**: Instica measures, estimates and prepares. Every date and layout on this page comes from the source named beside it and is shown as published on the retrieval date; it can change, so check the source before you act. You sign and submit each report yourself in the regulator or programme portal. Instica stores no portal credentials and files nothing for you.
