Taxation
Under Austrian law employees are obligated to pay
Austrian taxes. The amount of tax is
dependent upon placement into a tax category and
on the number of dependents. The School will deduct
the required tax from the monthly salary and issue the
appropriate amount to the Finanzamt (Local Finance
Office). It is the individual teacher’s own responsibility
to negotiate any special arrangements concerning
any taxation agreements that may exist between
Austria and his/her home country.
How much money will I have left after tax and
other deductions?
As a rule of thumb, you can assume that you will
have approximately 55% of your gross earnings
as disposable income. This taxation covers all the
deductions for health care, pension, tax, sick leave
benefits, etc.
