Abolition of "Kalte Progression"

In simple terms, this means that you pay up to €700 less in income tax per year. But all tax exemptions and tax deductions still apply separately - but you have to apply for them legally with your RelaxTax tax offset at the tax office.

Additional payment of income tax

If you have had two or more employers in one year or have changed jobs and earn more in your new job, you must make a tax adjustment. This often leads to an additional additional payment because each employer bills individually and cannot take other wages/salary into account. That's what tax law wants - and it's legal. BUT does the additional payment really have to be as high as it seems, or can it be legally reduced? Yes, you can significantly reduce this additional payment through tax exemptions and deductions. RelaxTax will help you with that!

In most cases, there are even smaller tax credits due to the many deduction options such as business expenses, special expenses, AVAB/AEAB or family bonus!

Earn extra money as an employee or pensioner in Austria

Are you an employee/worker or pensioner and have additional income from self-employment or business? If your additional income is not more than €730 per year, you do not have to report this to the tax office or include it in your tax offset. The €730 is the income=the profit. You can deduct expenses from your income and then a flat rate of 15% as a basic allowance. If the calculated amount is less than €730, you don't have to pay tax or declare anything.

Example: Income €1,000, expenses for materials and travel costs €200 = €800 and deduct 15% of the flat-rate basic allowance (€120) = €680 Income/profit -> is less than €730, so you don't have to pay tax on it.

Social Security Number and E-Card

The E-CARD is your social insurance certificate and the social insurance number (SV number) is for all social matters in Austria. As an Austrian citizen, you get it immediately after birth. If you live in Austria you also get one. When you work in Austria for the first time as a worker or employee, you will receive your e-card from your health insurance company. The format of your SV number is XXXX-XXXXXX. So a 4-digit number and your date of birth DDMMYY.

However, the SV number is not your personal tax number with which you can legally submit a tax offset to the tax office. But you can use RelaxTax to find out whether you already have a tax number using your SV number. If not, you have to apply for a tax number once from the tax office - but don't worry, we'll help you!
