Earn extra money as an employee or pensioner in Austria

Are you an employee/worker or pensioner and have additional income from self-employment or business? If your additional income is not more than €730 per year, you do not have to report this to the tax office or include it in your tax offset. The €730 is the income=the profit. You can deduct expenses from your income and then a flat rate of 15% as a basic allowance. If the calculated amount is less than €730, you don't have to pay tax or declare anything.

Example: Income €1,000, expenses for materials and travel costs €200 = €800 and deduct 15% of the flat-rate basic allowance (€120) = €680 Income/profit -> is less than €730, so you don't have to pay tax on it.
