>>34016353>Does it really take a whole week to sort out the taxes in Austria?No, not really. She likely delegates the actual tax filing shit to a hired accountant, so going from my own experience of doing taxes (in germany) the "preparation" on her side probably involves something like:
one or two hour inital preparatory session with the accountant where they discuss the optimal tax strategy for her specific work situation (ie. how to lower her tax burden or even get a refund) and the accountant tells Kiara what kind of documents and receipts he needs from her to get it done. She then goes home to gather all the requested documents. Depending on how well organized she has her shit together or how messy she is, this can take just a few hours or a few days. She then brings the documents back to her accountant. Now she's done on her part and the rest is left for the accountant to do. He'll work his magic and files the finished forms to the tax office. And a few months later again you'll hear back from them and they tell you if you get (and how much) a refund or have to make additional payments.
As she's most likely on some sort of "contractor" arrangement with Cover and not an actual regular employee, she probably doesn't already get the regular payroll taxes deducted from her "salary", so she would definetly have to do some additional payment to the austrian tax office later. Though I don't know what other japanese taxes Cover already deducts from her earnings at the source, I assume there are some, and Japan and Austra have a double taxation treaty where she can offset some already-paid japanese taxes with her to-be-paid austrian taxes. But I'm getting too deep here, without knowing too much - that's all for her accountant to figure out!
