Income Tax in Austria in 2021

Taxes, including personal income tax, expenses and limitations are reviewed by the Government in Austria periodically and typically updated each year. Not that not all tax rates and thresholds in Austria change annually, alterations to tax policy to support strategic economic growth in Austria mean that the certain areas may be focused on to provide specific tax relief in Austria or support growth in certain areas (overseas invstment in Austria for example may mean reduced non-resident income tax rates in Austria for a period).
