Upper Austria: Transparency report
How much our politicians earn on the side
A seat in the Upper Austrian state parliament as a side job for just under 8,000 euros gross per month. A new transparency list shows that politicians make good money in their professions. The "Krone" newspaper knows the names and the additional income.
Who earns how much is precisely regulated in the Upper Austrian Provincial Remuneration Act: The basis is always the salary of a member of the National Council, which is currently exactly 10,351.39 euros. In 1997, a starting amount of 100,000 schillings was set by law, which now, due to inflation and after several increases, amounts to exactly these 10,351.39 euros. Members of the Upper Austrian Parliament receive 75 percent of this amount, i.e. 7764 euros gross, 14 times a year.
