Procedure and Necessary Documents
PERMIT OF RESIDENCE
The registration can be done personally or postally.

depends on where he is from and how long and to
what purpose he will stay in Austria.
Both for registering and deregistering, the following
documents are required: a filled-in certificate of
registration (Meldezettel), an ID card or passport
or birth certificate or certificate of citizenship.
Upon residing in a rental apartment/flat, the
accommodation provider has to sign the certificate

Third Country/Third Country National:
Countries or citizens of countries that belong
neither to the European Union (EU) or the
European Economic Area (EEA). Currently,
28 countries are members of the EU: Belgium,
Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Estonia,
Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands,
Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, the Czech Republic,
Hungary, Great Britain, and Cyprus. The
countries in the EEA include all EU countries as
well as Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland. For
Switzerland, as an EU neighbour country with
bilateral contracts, apply special regulations. In
many apsects, a citizen of Switzerland is thus
equal to EU citizens.
Schengen States: All EU countries with the
exception of Great Britain, Ireland, Cyprus,
Bulgaria, and Romania are Schengen states.
Furthermore, Switzerland and the EEA countries
Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland are Schengen
states. The Schengen states have signed the
Schengen Agreement of 1985, which regulates a
joint asylum and immigration policy. Because of
this agreement, the border control towards other
Schengen states (also within Schengen territory)
has been lifted and the border control towards third
countries (Schengen borders) has been massively
reinforced. (Source: help.gv.at)

MEANS
The most important residence permit is the “RotWeiß-Rot-Karte” (Red-White-Red Card), which
has been introduced on July 1, 2011. It is issued to
specially qualified workers for the duration of one
year.
Residence Permit “Student“
Generally, the following groups have a prospect of
receiving a Rot-Weiß-Rot-Karte:
Specially qualified people, specialists for jobs on
shortage occupation list, other key workers, foreign
graduates of an Austrian college/university as well as
self-employed key workers.
A corresponding application for the “Rot-Weiß-RotKarte” can only be submitted upon the reference
to an adequate job offer and with the consent of
the future employer. The responsible registry office
decides on the basis of an assessment by the AMS
(Arbeitsmarktservice -> job center).
RESIDENCE AND WORK
While the “Rot-Weiß-Rot-Karte” is only issued for
a concrete Austrian employer, the “Rot-Weiß-RotKarte plus”, which is issued subsequently, allows the
change of the employer. After five years of residence
and fulfillment of the integration agreement, the
residence permit “Daueraufenthalt-EG” (permanent
residence) can be issued. This is valid for an unlimited
period.
Every person that wants to pursue a career
according to the Alien Employment Act
(Ausländerbeschäftigungsgesetz), is required
to have a corresponding work permit. This
also applies to apprenticeships or people in
employment-like situations (e.g. freelance
contract)
Aside from the “Rot-Weiß-Rot-Karte”, there is also the
“Blaue Karte EU” (Blue Card EU) that can be issued
to foreign specialists upon the warrant of a certain
minimum income, which has to amount to one and
a half times of the average Austrian annual gross
salary.
Foreigners, who aim to work in Austria, need

TA X E S
To be allowed to open an Austrian bank account,
you have to show your passport, your driving
license or a valid ID-card at the respective bank.
The existence of an Austrian bank account is
obligatory in most employment relationships.
In order that your employer can transfer your
monthly salary, you should open a “Giro- oder
Gehaltskonto” (Check/cheque account or salary
account).
The opening hours of the banks are not uniformly,
although most branches open from Monday to
Friday from 8.30 a.m. to 12.30 a.m. and from 2
p.m. to 4.30 p.m.
The possibility of “Online Banking” is offered by all
large Austrian banks, so that transactions are not
restricted to the opening hours of the branches.
TA X E S A N D FI N A N C E AU T H O R I T Y
If one has his main residence in Austria, one is
also required to pay personal income tax in Austria
(even if the place of employment is abroad). All EU
countries and neighbour countries have negotiated
bilateral treaties with Austria in order to avoid
eventual double taxing and to guarantee that, as
a tax payer, one only has to pay personal income
tax in the country where his main residence is
registered.
Employed people receive their salary or their
wage on their salary account. The employer is
responsible for paying the income tax as well as
the mandatory social insurance to the state.
Self-employed people with trade certificates/
licenses, freelancers and “new self-employed”
have to pay their taxes and social insurance
contributions themselves.

The Austrian Personal Income Tax System
In order to guarantee social equality and maintain
the stable social peace in the country, the
Austrian personal income tax system adapts
with its progressive tax rates to the height of the
income. While a low income is also taxed very
low, the income tax rate rises according to the
higher income. To insure financial performance
incentives, a maximum top rate has been
introduced.
General and concise information on the topic
“income tax” can be found online via
• www.help.gv.at (Menüpunkt „Steuern und
Finanzen Einkommenssteuer“)
Income Tax Return
Generally, you are required to submit an income
tax return when the financial authority prompts you
to (§ 42 subparagraph 1 line 1 income tax law –
EstG Einkommenssteuergesetz); thus, when you
receive an income tax declaration. If no prompt
is received, one has to distinguish whether liable
payroll tax earnings are included in the income or
not.
IMPORTANT: Generally, you can assume that
you have to receive an income tax return as a rule
if your income as unrestricted taxpayer (=people
with Austrian residence or frequent residence in
Austria) exceeds € 12,000, unless you have only
one (or consecutive) employment relationship or
only one pension paying institution. The income
tax return (From E1) is to be submitted in the
respective residence finance authority (Attachment
of pay slips is not necessary, because they are
transmitted by the employer or the pension paying
institution automatically to your residence financial
authority).
A duty of submitting the income tax return
exists for unrestricted taxpayers especially in
the cases in which the tax-free base income is
exceeded and not only one liable income tax
earning is existent:
• When the income does not include liable
income tax earnings and exceeds €
12,000
• When the chief income includes liable
income tax earnings, but also other
earnings of more than € 730,- have been
made and the income exceeds € 12,000
• If at the same two or more employed
occupations have been done or two or
more pensions (who are not taxed by the
same pension provider) are received and
the income exceeds € 12,000
• Generally also when earnings from
the capital assets are received,
which underlie the special tax rate of
25 %, but do not underlie the KESt
(Kapitalertragssteuer -> dividend tax,
especially foreign capital earnings)
Independent from the height of the income,
accounting income tax payers have to submit an
income tax return.
The submission of the income tax return is
recommended also upon the presence of a loss
because it is then according to the base and the
height fixed legally through official decision for
the purposes of the tax loss carried forward.
In the context of a tax declaration, the income
and possible further taxation features of
the respective calendar year have to be
shown (especially the height of the earnings,
deductible special expenses, extraordinary
charges, child allowances).
Deadline for the submission of the tax
declaration:
• Submission of the hardcopy tax declaration:
April 30, of the following year
voluntarily by all people liable to income tax.
Because there can be claimed a number of taxreducing expenses (e.g. commuting allowances,
specialized literature etc.), considerable tax
refunds by the financial authority are possible.

THE AUSTRIAN SOCIAL
INSURANCE SYSTEM
People who have their main residence in Austria
and pursue a self-employed or employed
occupation, have to have a compulsory insurance
of the Austrian social system. The compulsory
insurance serves the purposes of protection and
financial coverage upon accident, unemployment
or illness as well as the financial maintenance
for the time after the professional life (pension).
An additional insurance cover or a private health
insurance can be covered on a voluntary basis.
Social Insurance
The legal social insurance is a compulsory
insurance, i.e. upon the presence of legally closer
defined prerequisites, the automatic inclusion into
the respective insurance branch (health, accident
or pension) takes place.
The primary link of the compulsory insurance is
the respective concretely exercised occupation.
Thus, the insurance protection for health,
accident and pension is regulated through
various laws.
The compulsory insurance for employed people
does also include the unemployment insurance.
Self-employed people may also cover it if they
wish.
Employed people are automatically insured
against illness and accident and for a pension.
The employer pays the social insurance
contribution and subtracts it from the salary. The
compulsory insurance ends with the end of the
employment (or compensation claims).
The compulsory insurance of health, pension and
accident insurance starts for the tradesperson
on the day of business registration. The
announcement of the insurance’s beginning
is to be done within one month at the social
insurance institution of trade and industry
(Sozialversicherungsanstalt der gewerblichen
Wirtschaft - SVA) of the respective state. The
transmission of the announcement can also be
conducted at the trade authority through EDPsupported means.
Health Insurance
The health insurance has, together with the other
social insurance providers, a complementary
responsibility in the field of medical rehabilitation.
They apply measures subsequent to the illness
in order to maximize the success of the treatment
and minimize the consequences of the illness
or the treatment. The purpose of the health
insurance is the entitlement to medical treatment.
Cures, medical aids and medical attention are
part of this.
Family members of the insured person who are not
insured on their own and have their residence in
Austria can be co-insured.

The search for a new apartment begins often at own

at newspaper ads or an own advertisement, at noncommercial housing associations (gemeinnützige
Wohnbauvereinigung), at financial institutions
or building associations as well as house
managements.

The apartment search with the help of a realtor/
estate agent or brokerage firm is more comfortable,
though, since they take care for the client about
showing appointments, concluding rental contracts,
key delivery etc. and look after him professionally.
Salzburg has a large variety of realtors/estate
agents who are partially active in internationally
connected networks and offer many different
properties.
Generally, realtors/estate agents have to be paid
only when a contract is concluded. Legally, the
height of the brokerage depends on the gross
monthly rent and the duration of the rental contract:
• Rental contract with a duration up to 3 years:
1 monthly rent plus 20 % VAT
• Rental contract with a duration of more than 3
years: 2 monthly rents plus 20 % VAT

Such payments are sometimes required from
the landlord or the house management upon
concluding a rental contract for the emerging
expense. Nevertheless, no legal foundation exists
for this.
Please note: After several verdicts from the
Supreme Court of Justice, such demands are
prohibited and illegal according to the law of
tenancy because these costs pertain to the proper
administration of a house and are covered by the
tenant through the payment of the service charges.

T Y PES O F A PA RTM ENT
Rental Apartment
The largest part of Salzburgs apartments are
rental apartments. Most apartments underlie the
“Mietrechtsgesetz - MRG” (law of tenancy), which
guarantees a very wide protection of the tenant
and prevents abuse. The law of tenancy contains
for example precise regulations regarding the
maximum height of the rent and the possibility
of limiting the rental contract for a certain period
of time. If a rental contract falls under the law of
tenancy, the regulations of the law are compulsory.
It cannot be changed through contract agreements
to the disadvantage of the tenant.
Generally it has to be mentioned that the maximal
possible height of the rent (house rent) always
depends on the equipment of the apartment. The
house rent is the price that has to be paid for
the surrendering of goods of the rental property
(usually monthly in advance).
House rent components:
• Net house rent (depends on the apartment
category, age of the house and other legal
regulations)
• Proportional utility costs and public charges
(e.g. garbage collection, water, cleaning)
• Proportional expenditure for community
facilities (e.g. lift/elevator, heating unit for entire
house) if existing
• Fee for rented furniture if existing
• VAT of 10 % from house rent
IMPORTANT: Gas and electricity are not counted
among utility costs, even if they often are termed
as such, and have to be paid extra. The bill of
utility costs for the entire house may be viewed.
Often, these are displayed in the house or can be
demanded from the janitor/caretaker.
Depending on whether the tenant has to heat
by himself or the heating is included in the main
house rent and which add-on benefits are offered,
the following running costs may emerge:
• Gas and electricity
• Telephone basic fee and call-charge
• Internet/Cable/radio license fee (e.g. GIS
Rundfunkgebühr)
• Payments for insurance services (e.g.
household insurance)

Council Home
Some cities and communities offer apartments to
moderate rents. The prerequisites for applying for
a “Gemeindewohnung” (council home) vary a lot.
In most cases the prerequisites for the application
are:
• A certain minimum age (commonly 18 years)
• Austrian citizenship or
-Citizen of EU member state
-Citizen of EEA member state
-Swiss citizen
-People with residence permit
“Daueraufenthalt EG” (permanent
residence European Community)
-Refugees according to the Geneva
Convention
• Minimum period of main residence: In
Austrian communities the regulations for
this vary (in the city of Salzburg: minimum
of 3 years)
• The sum of the net income of all moving
people may not exceed certain annual limits

Housing Cooperative Apartments
Aside from the “normal” private rental
apartments, there are also rental
apartments by housing cooperatives
(Wohnbaugenossenschaft). These apartments
are built by a non-profit construction association
and provided for its members for usage. To be
able to rent a housing cooperative apartment,
it is necessary to become a member of the
cooperative. As an alternative, these nonprofit societies also rent apartments that
underlie the Austrian non-profit housing act
(Wohnungsgemeinnützigkeitsgesetz).
With housing cooperative apartments, a usually
larger “financing contribution” (a type of building
cost grant) has to be paid in the beginning. This
is a house rent reducing basic or building cost
grant which varies according to age, location and
size of the housing cooperative apartment and
is paid back upon the termination of the rental
contract with an annual deprecation of 1 %.
To obtain a housing cooperative apartment, one
usually has to apply for an apartment that is in
construction. In this case, one has to expect a
certain waiting period. Generally, there is also
the possibility of moving into an older housing
cooperative apartment. These apartments are
rarely available, though. According to the law,
housing cooperative apartments (even funded
ones) may be purchased by people without an
Austrian citizenship.
The entitlement prerequisites for funded
housing cooperative apartments are different
in each country.

may have to be fulfilled:

Health is considered the most important good.
The securing of health is a legally anchored task
of the public sector in Austria. Substantial services
are performed in the various areas of the health
system, so that all Austrians have access to topquality health care.
Condominium/Owner-occupied Flat
If one wants to buy a house or condo/owneroccupied flat, one should consider whether one
wants to use it for personal requirements or
for subleasing. In the case of subleasing, the
following aspects need to be considered: funded
condos/owner-occupied flats may only be let in
exceptional cases and upon the consent of the
residential building subsidies institution of the state
administration (Wohnbauförderungsstelle des
Landes) or upon full clearance of the subsidized
loans; this is possible at any time with privately
financed condos/owner-occupied flats.
Important: If you are a third country citizen, you
have to get an official permit according to the
law of purchase of real property by non-citizens
(Ausländergrunderwerbsgesetz), which varies
in each state, in order to be able to conclude
the purchase contract. The requirements to
receiving such a permit are that a cultural, social
or economic interest exists for the accomplishment
of the legal transaction and, at the same time,
national policy interests are not compromised. For
this matter, the office of the state administration
of Salzburg or the respective regional office
authority (Bezirkshauptmannschaft) and the

POST
You can send your post from the branches of the
Österreichische Post AG. Salzburg has a large
network of branches; there are also branches
with longer opening hours (e.g. post office
Salzburg main station on Südtiroler Platz 1). In
the rural areas of Salzburg, retail businesses
and tobacconists offer these services as “post
partners”.
The parcel service market has already been
privatized completely and the letter service –
which has belonged to a major part to the once
public Austrian Post – has recently been opened
for private postal operators.
Thus, you have also in Salzburg the possibilities
of either sending your packages and letters via the
Österreichische Post AG or private services (TNT,
GLS, UPC, DHL, Hermes, Salzburgbrief etc.).
Mail which couldn’t be delivered to you (e.g.
large packages) is deposited at the post branch
responsible for your residential address and can
also be collected from there (or the nearest store
of your private delivery service). All necessary
information can be obtained from the “yellow slips”
(Abholschein) that are left by your delivery service
at your P.O. Box or your apartment door.

ESME-Vaccination
The, in Salzburg and surroundings (risk area)
occurring Early Summer Meningoenzephalitis
(ESME) is a viral disease that is transferred
by infected ticks to humans. The ESME
(Frühsommer-Meningoenzephalitis FMSE) leads
to an infection in the brain, the meningeal and
the central nervous system. There is no specific
cure against the fully developed disease that
often shows flu-like symptoms. EMSE can lead to
severe neurological damage, paralysis, coma or
eventually end even lethal.
The only effective protection that is known against
the disease is the ESME vaccination. It consists
of several inoculations, of which the first should
already be conducted in the cold season. For
infants, the ESME initial immunization can be
done at the age of 2. Later, the booster doses
should be applied all 5 years (3 years after the first
booster).
Through the entry of all your vaccinations or the
vaccinations of your children into the vaccination
record (Impfpass, available free of charge at your
doctor or the Federal Ministry of Health, also
automatically attached to the Mother-Child-Pass
(Mutter-Kind-Pass)), you and your family doctor
can keep track of the vaccinations. For detailed
information, please ask your general practitioner.

kindergarten may be possible.
Private Kindergartens
If you want to give your child into the care of a
private kindergarten, it is best to personally have
a look at the kindergarten in question and talk to
the director. The application can be done either
at the kindergarten or at the respective provider
organization. To cover the costs of child care, there
is the opportunity of obtaining a child care aid that
adjusts to the income upon visiting the private child
care institution.

Entrance
The fees for a day care place depend on:
• The provider of the day care center
• The income of the parents and
• The amount of hours that the child spends
in the center
Children of this age group can be also in the care
of a child minder.
Afternoon Care of Children in Compulsory
School Age
Aside from after school centers, all-day schools
and open schools offer solutions.
Day care centers are a form of care for children up
until the age of 3.
In all-day schools, all children participate in the
afternoon care. Lessons and leisure are distributed
over the whole day. Open schools have their
lessons scheduled in the morning; additionally, the
possibility for leisure care in the afternoon exists.
The cost for this care depends on the height of the
income.
Institutions of this type are specialized in the needs
of babies and toddlers. In the various groups, a
small amount of children is taken care of, where a
close cooperation with the parents is vital.
Information on the care offers of schools in your
vicinity can be received from the school service

Child Care.
The entrance in a public school is decided by the
headmaster. The entrance into a private school
takes place through a contract under private law
between the pupil (represented by the parent/legal
guardian) and the private school administration.
The entry requirements for the respective type
of school law need to be fulfilled also at private
schools according to school. Information about
this can be obtained from the administration of the
respective private schools.
Enrolment
Children who turn 6 between September 1 and
March 1 of the current school year are not required
to attend school but have to begin their first school
year upon application by the parent/legal guardian
if they show the necessary school readiness and
have the required social skills for attending school.
The application has to be submitted in written form
within the enrolment deadline at the headmaster/
administration. In addition, a short introduction with
the child and a medical opinion by a school doctor
need to be done.
Until December 31, a premature enrolment may be
revoked by the school. The child may also be deregistered by the parents/legal guardian up to that
date. In these cases, the parents/legal guardian
may register their child for pre school classes.
For the registration required documents:
For the registration to Volksschule (elementary
school/board school) required documents: birth
certificate of the child, certificate of registration,
certificate of citizenship, baptism certificate,
E-Card.
For the first year of AHS (Allgemein bildende

- Upon setting up residence in Austria: 6
months from taking up a residence if the

months from the entry into federal territory if
the owner is 18 or older.
• In the calculation of NoVA, the standard (e.g.
car radio) and special equipment (e.g. ABS,
airbags, air conditioning, sliding roof) are
included.
• Leasing vehicles also underlie the NoVA,
even if the lessor has his residence abroad.
Thus, the place of the vehicles usage and not
the residence of the lessor is determining for
tax liability.
• In the case of own import of a new or used
vehicle for the first-time permit in Austria
(counts also as relocation goods), the NoVA
has to be calculated by private persons
themselves and payed to the financial
authority. For the payment of NoVA by private
persons, the form “NoVa 2” has to be used.
Tip: Further information on
“Normverbrauchsabgabe” as well as FAQ’s about
NoVA can be found on the webpages of the
Federal Ministry of Finance (Bundesministerium für
Finanzen).
• w ww.bmf.gv.at
ASSESSMENT BASIS
For the assessment basis of NoVA, the cost price,
the fee or the market value as well as the average
fuel consumption/gas mileage (Motor Vehicle
Emmission Group cycle) have to be included.
For detailed information on the calculation as well
as explanations and advice, see the form “NoVa 2”.
ATTENTION
If the foreign driving license is not written in
German, it is only valid with an international driving
license or a translation.
Legal bases
• § 23 Führerscheingesetz (FSG)
• §§ 8, 9 FührerscheingesetzDurchführungsverordnung (FSG-DV)
Permission and Purchase of Passenger Cars
(Personenkraftwagen-PKW)
In Austria, the NoVA has to be paid upon first-time
registration of passenger cars or motorcycles. The
“Normverbrauchsabgabe” (NoVa) is a one-time tax
fee. For trucks/lorries, the NoVA does not have to
be paid.
• Upon purchasing a new vehicle which has
not been registered in Austria yet, the buyer
pays the NoVA to the dealer, who pays it to
the financial authority.
Please note: The payment is also to be
made in the case of endowments, heritage
or moving.

WASTE AND DISPOSAL
G E N E R A L I N FO R M AT I O N
In Austria, households are required to participate
in the public waste disposal, i. e. you have to
submit an application for waste disposal.
The notification is conducted either through the
owner or the tenant (owner) of a property or
through the housing complex administration. If you
are only a tenant of an apartment, the registration
for waste disposal is usually conducted by the
owner or the housing complex administration.
Since regional procedure in waste disposal can
be quite diverse, it would be prudent to inform
yourself in time about registration and deregistration of waste collection services in your
residential area.
Requirements: You own property.
Deadlines
The waste disposal is handled differently in each
community. Deadlines for application do not exist
yet the registration is mandatory.
Tip: Please keep in mind that an early registration,
de-registration or notification of a change of
address is always to your own advantage because
– depending on the community - there can be
different time intervals between the submission of
the application and the deployment of waste
containers.
