Generally
Question: Besides having your social security contributions deducted
from your paycheck in Austria, did you ever pay contributions in
any other country?
In general you can, provided you have met all conditions in the
respective countries, receive social security payments simultaneously
from any country you have worked in and made your contributions.
The resulting income tax that is generated by those payments to
you will have to be paid by you in the country of your residence
or the country where the payments are being transferred to.
We will be honored if you trust us with the safeguarding of your
interests in front of the individual national Social Security Administrations.
We work together with experts who are fluent in the languages of
the respective countries and will be able to get you in touch with
legal advisors or attorneys who will represent you in court if necessary.
