Business expenses deduction for voluntary severance payments

The Administrative Court made the decision that voluntary severance payments will be no longer deductible for corporation tax purposes, thus also to those paid out as part of social plans. Voluntary severance payments to employees who are subject to the new severance payment law are therefore not entirely covered by this ban on deducting business expenses, but only to the extent that they exceed the amount limits for the preferential wage taxation of voluntary severance payments set out in paragraph 67(6) of the Austrian Income Tax Act. The referred regulation is therefore only relevant for the purpose of deducting business expenses (but not for the purpose of the preferential wage taxation at 6%).
