How the Austrian Familienbonus Plus Operates (§ 33 EStG)
The Familienbonus Plus is Austria's premier tax support mechanism for families with children. Unlike typical deductions that merely reduce the taxable base, this bonus is an explicit tax credit (Absetzbetrag) that reduces your calculated tax debt Euro-for-Euro:
Direct Tax Eraser
If a parent owes €3,500 in annual income tax and has 2 children under 18 (2 x €2,000 = €4,000 bonus), the entire €3,500 tax liability is wiped out completely.
Kindermehrbetrag Refund
Low-income families who pay little or no income tax receive up to €700 per child cash refund from the tax office (Finanzamt).
Combined with Familienbeihilfe
The Familienbonus Plus is paid in addition to the universal child benefit (Familienbeihilfe), not instead of it.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can separated or divorced parents split the Familienbonus?
Yes. Either the parent entitled to Familienbeihilfe claims the entire 100%, or the parents split it 50/50. If one parent pays statutory child support (Alimente), they can claim 50% of the bonus provided child support payments were met.
How do I get the money paid every month instead of waiting for tax return?
Fill out Formular E 30 and hand it directly to your company's HR/payroll department. Your employer will automatically apply the €166.68/month discount on your monthly payslip.
