Financial Benefits for Families
In Austria, there are various financial benefits and tax advantages available to families who meet the relevant requirements.
Well-known examples include Childcare Allowance ("Kinderbetreuungsgeld"), Family Allowance ("Familenbeihilfe"), and Family Bonus Plus ("Familienbonus Plus").
Whether a person/family is actually entitled to a specific financial benefit or tax advantage must always be examined on a case-by-case basis. Entitlement does not always exist. In some cases (e.g., certain cross-border situations), it may also be that a country other than Austria is responsible for granting a particular financial benefit, or that both Austria and another country are responsible (to varying degrees) for granting it. Anyone moving to Tyrol should also clarify their tax situation as early as possible (preferably before moving).
Financial support for families is available in Austria at various levels. In addition to financial family benefits, which can be applied for throughout Austria if the requirements are met, there are also certain financial benefits granted by the federal states (in this case Tyrol) and by certain institutions (e.g., AMS Tirol). These are, of course, also subject to very specific requirements.
