Passenger Tax Austria
Flugabgabe Österreich - Calculation
The tax applies to the departure of a passenger from an international Austrian airport. Currently these are:
- Vienna (LOWW)
- Salzburg (LOWS)
- Linz (LOWL)
- Innsbruck (LOWI)
- Klagenfurt (LOWK)
- Graz (LOWG)
The tax is dependent on the length of the flight. It amounts to
- €30.00 per departing passenger for flights where the distance between departure and arrival airport is shorter than 350km
- €12.00 per departing passenger for flights where the distance between departure and arrival airport is longer than 350km
The following exemptions apply:
- Aircraft with MTOW ≤ 2000kg
- Military, humanitarian, ambulance, state, training, or private flights
- Infants under 2 years old without their seats
- Crew members including deadhead crews
- Transfer passengers with a layover <24h
- Departures following an unscheduled landing [Exemption Not Applied]
If the transportation is subject to VAT, the rate of €12.00 or €30.00 includes VAT. So the duty itself comes up to €10.62 + €1.38 or €26.55 + €3.45 respectively.
