Fought and won: Entrepreneurs demand exemption from taxes!
The introduction of the new ORF household tax in 2024 is causing unrest among entrepreneurs in Austria. This tax applies to everyone, regardless of whether a radio receiver is used or not. Those who have registered their main residence and their business premises at the same address are particularly affected. According to the Freedom Economy, companies are suffering from additional financial burden and are already fighting for significant relief. KommR Günter Burger, chairman of the Carinthian Freedom Economy, expresses his sharp criticism of the restrictive handling of the exemption regulations. “Our entrepreneurs need less bureaucracy and clear rules,” he demands vehemently ots.at is reported.
Restrictions of liberation and the reaction of the economy
In order to be exempt from the company tax, numerous strict criteria must be met. ORF-Beitrags Service GmbH checks applications very carefully with regard to the address data requirements. As was already stated in the discussion about the levy, an exemption is excluded as soon as there are different door/top numbers. Burger urgently appeals to all entrepreneurs to exercise their right to exemption and to use the opportunity to submit an application. His organization, the Freedom Economy, is campaigning “Enough!” for less bureaucracy and a faster approval process.
There is also an important aspect to consider regarding the connection between work and democracy. According to a report on unisg.ch It is crucial that employees in companies are paid sufficiently to be able to be politically active. These considerations were formulated as early as the 1960s and are more important than ever given today's developments. A democratic and participatory work environment can not only promote economic success, but also strengthen the values of a free society. Companies are called upon to do more to encourage democratic participation among their employees in order to make a positive contribution to society.
