Why file an employee tax assessment in Austria?
oesterreich.gv.at says wage tax in Austria is calculated as if you earned the same amount all year. If your pay changed, an employee assessment recalculates the tax across the year, and a credit goes to your account when you paid too much. If the result is more tax and no mandatory filing reason applies, you can withdraw the application.
