Tax Information for Austrian Citizens
Students
employed full-time may deduct the expenses of
their education (Weiterbildung/Ausbildung/Umschulung)
from their taxes if they can demonstrate that
their coursework is necessary for their
employment or is part of training for a new
career field. The amount refunded by the tax
authorities in Austria depends on the students’
income. Student employers can also obtain tax
benefits by sponsoring their employees' studies
at Webster. (In Austria: Bildungsfreibetrag 4
Abs.4 Z.8 EstG 1988)
