Austria has progressive income tax rates from 0% to 55%, with the 55% Reichensteuer (millionaire tax) applying above €1 million. But here's Austria's major benefit: 13th and 14th month salaries (Weihnachtsgeld and Urlaubsgeld) are taxed at just 6% flat—making gross salaries worth significantly more than headline rates suggest. Social security runs ~18% for employees. A €60,000 earner pays roughly €15,900 income tax (~26.5% effective) plus €10,800 social security. Austria abolished inheritance tax and wealth tax—beneficial for family wealth transfers. Church tax applies at ~1.1% for Catholic/Protestant members. The Familienbonus Plus provides €2,000/child tax credit. Filing deadline is April 30 (June 30 online). Use our calculator to estimate your Austrian tax liability.
