4 September 2026, Mag. Bernhard Brandauer, Rechtsanwalt

Insolvency administrator remuneration cannot be assessed from one invoice or the nominal value of the estate alone. The calculation base, realisation proceeds, expenses and procedural stage must fit together.

Section 82 IO provides for remuneration plus VAT and reimbursement of cash expenses, together with statutory calculation rules. The current text and the court file control the review.

This article separates the remuneration claim from the general final account and from the question whether an individual estate item was recorded correctly.

Legal basis and procedural stage

Section 82 IO provides for remuneration plus VAT and reimbursement of cash expenses, together with statutory calculation rules. The current text and the court file control the review.

This article separates the remuneration claim from the general final account and from the question whether an individual estate item was recorded correctly.

Keep the evidence chronological

Match orders, agreements, performance, payments and communications by date and legal basis.

Do not derive a legal effect from a heading, invoice or informal assurance alone.

Document the next concrete step

Record which declaration, vote, court decision or further review is actually pending.

Do not assume a general deadline or automatic effect while the file is incomplete.

Do not assume a blanket effect: Review the procedural stage, source, documents and next step separately.
