A savings package ensures inflations: driving license and mileage in danger!

The Austrian government faces significant changes that have appeared in the coalition negotiations in the past few days. The blue-black negotiators presented an extensive savings package on Thursday, which provides for a drastic increase in fees for official documents such as driver's licenses and admission certificates that have not been adjusted since 2020. According to the proposals, the costs should increase noticeably, while the mileage money for motorcycles is halved and reduced to a quarter for bicycles. In addition, the climate bonus and educational leave should be abolished, which already ensures controversial discussions, such as OE24 .

cuts and tax increases

In addition to the higher fees, FPÖ and ÖVP announced a reduction in environmental funding by 20 percent, and the free climaticket for 18 year olds should also fall. Tax increases in the areas of gambling and tobacco are also on the agenda, which could further increase the financial burden for citizens. This is directed against the current needs of many Austrians who hope for support and relief.
