1,000 Euro Financial Boost: Government Plans New Bonus

Following the inflation bonuses of 2022 and 2023, where companies could pay their employees up to 3,000 euros tax-free, a new performance bonus is now coming. This is to be introduced with a maximum amount of 1,000 euros per year and will remain tax- and duty-free, as reported by finanz.at.

Flexible Handling for Employers

Unlike previous regulations, the new bonus will no longer be tied to company agreements or collective agreements. Employers can independently decide on the allocation. Particularly pleasing: The bonus is open to all forms of employment - from full-time to part-time to marginally employed.

Political Support Despite Austerity Measures

Economics Minister Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer (ÖVP) emphasizes the importance of this measure: "We are saving, we are consolidating – but we must not forget the people who work daily for jobs and prosperity." The implementation is planned for the current year, despite general austerity efforts and budget consolidation.
