Topic: Austria
Austrian Citizen living abroad wanting to pay Retirement Pension Tax
Hello. I am an Austrian Citizen who has been living in South America for some time. I am not a national of any other country other than Austria. I have begun working free lance in Peru. Peruvian law requires I pay taxes locally unless I declare and pay taxes in my country of citizenship. I prefer to pay taxes in Austria and specifically contribute to the Social Security retirement pension system for one day I will retire and do not want to depend on a South American meager pension.

How do I declare and pay my social security contribution tax in Austria from abroad? Is there a book keeping/tax preparation company that can assist me with this specific case that someone can recommend? (I am not a large income earner).
Thank you for your assistance.  MGB
