From tax year transition to payout – see every step of your tax return
New Tax Year
Time to take care of your taxes early this year
The year – and with it your tax year – is over. You've worked hard and celebrated New Year's Eve properly and put your New Year's resolutions into action
February hits
Take ownership and get going with RelaxTax
Your employer has already told the tax office (by law) how much you earned last year and how much income tax has already been paid for you. Take a look back at the past year.
Now you have the opportunity to tell the authorities what you can or want to deduct from the tax. To do this, you have to apply for a tax equalization
Download App
Select your tax buddies and answer the questionnaire.
Your RelaxTax tax buddy will help you find out what you can deduct from your taxes. But you don't always have to have a lot to deduct in order to still get a wage tax credit. The RelaxTax experts will check everything and send your tax equalization to the tax office for you - your tax equalization will be processed there as quickly as possible
Submission
We transmit your tax equalization directly
We send your tax equalization electronically to the tax office for you. Then you don't have to bother with confusing tax forms or annoying key figures. We have years of experience with this and know exactly what is important! You can then deduct the RelaxTax service fee from your taxes next year anyway. So you have nothing to lose. #nothingToLose
Refund*
We can confirm your refund from the tax authorities.
Where applicable, the tax authority may subsequently contact you to request documentation or to clarify specific questions about your tax assessment.
Tracking
So you always know in which phase your tax return is in.
In the RelaxTax app we will keep you up to date until your tax equalization has been sent and notify you of your probable wage tax credit - we cannot influence how quickly the tax office processes your application, but from experience we know that it can take up to 1 month.
Customer Support
Support in case of a negative refund
In case your Tax Return shows a possible balance to pay instead of a refund we won't submit it right away. We contact you and work together with you to see how we can get you a positive refund if possible
And Done
Your tax assessment and refund**
After processing by the tax office, you will receive your legally valid tax assessment and your income tax credit will be automatically transferred to you if you have an Austrian bank account. If you don't have an Austrian bank account, you can simply apply for one in writing or contact us - we're happy to help.
