Bernhard Koller from the Styrian Chamber of Labor, which also offers individual consultations as part of the tax savings days, knows how you can get tax money back from the state quickly and easily.

Every euro counts, as inflation continues to tear deep holes in household budgets. It is therefore important to use all reserves.

One good way to get money is to reclaim overpaid income tax from the state.

The employee tax assessment - often referred to as tax equalization - recalculates the wage tax for a year. This also allows economic burdens to be taken into account to reduce tax, such as the Family Bonus Plus for children, medical treatment, special eco-expenses allowance, commuting to and from work or professional expenses.

In most cases, this results in tax credits that are transferred directly to your own account.

At the AK tax savings days, which will take place in all Styrian districts until the beginning of April 2025, experts from the Chamber of Labor will help you apply for an employee tax assessment.

The AK consultation is worthwhile
This 20-minute consultation definitely pays off: On average, 650 euros in overpaid income tax is refunded, in individual cases the refund can amount to several thousand euros.

You can register for the tax savings days by calling 05 7799-2507.
