Abstract

Die Konsumerhebung 2015/16 zeigt, dass Pensionshaushalte 27% der gesamten Konsumausgaben privater Haushalte in Österreich tätigen. In den Kategorien Gesundheit und sonstige Waren und Dienstleistungen (Körperpflege, soziale Dienste) sind die Ausgaben der Pensionshaushalte höher als jene der jüngeren Haushalte. Geringere Konsumausgaben tätigen Pensionshaushalte für Bildung, Bekleidung, Beherbergung und alkoholische Getränke. Die Steuer- und Abgabenbelastung der Pensionshaushalte beträgt im Durchschnitt 30%. Die Abgabenquote der 10% der Haushalte mit den geringsten Einkommen liegt bei 19,7%, jene mit den höchsten Einkommen bei 36,4%. Im unteren Einkommensdrittel bilden die Konsum- und Verbrauchsteuern die Hauptabgabe der Pensionshaushalte, diese indirekten Steuern wirken regressiv. In den oberen Einkommensgruppen ist die progressiv wirkende Einkommensteuer die Hauptabgabe der Pensionshaushalte.
