Rationale and aims

Mehrsprachige Informationsveranstaltung der Landwirtschaftskammer Niederösterreich zum Thema Zugang zur Einkommensteuerrückerstattung provides foreign seasonal agricultural workers with clear information on how to submit an income tax return in Austria. It aims to increase awareness of eligibility, deadlines and benefits of filing a tax return, supporting seasonal workers in reclaiming overpaid tax and improving their net income.

The employee tax assessment document provides multilingual information on the Austrian income tax return process for seasonal workers. It explains eligibility, required forms and deadlines, highlights the benefits of submitting a tax return, and directs workers to official multilingual tax forms from the Federal Ministry of Finance. The document is made available online and distributed directly to seasonal workers through information mailings and outreach activities.

Target groups and eligibility

The document is intended for foreign seasonal workers, including intra-EU and third-country nationals, employed in agriculture and forestry in Lower Austria on short-term contracts during harvest periods. The information is freely accessible online and can be used by any interested worker without specific eligibility conditions.
