Pure Madness
Have pasted this from the B jET forum as if its correct it not only covers private jets but also any aircraft over 2000 KG which also means many light piston twins.
If this is true then Europe has gone completely Bonkers
As you might know, since March 31st 2011 you as an aircraft operator will have to pay a newly introduced „departure tax“ to the Ministry of Finance for flights with aircraft with an MTOW of 2000 kg or more.
Regrettably the process of reporting and paying this tax to the Austrian Ministry of Finance has been set up in a quite complicated way. Additionally you will need to appoint a tax representative if you do not have a registered office in Austria.
The amount of the tax per departing passenger has set to be :
EUR 8 for short haul flights
EUR 20 for medium haul flights
EUR 35 for long haul flights
GREEDY LEECHING COMPANY is happy to announce that we will be able to act as your tax representative in Austria and we will handle the whole process of your initial application with the Austrian Ministry of Finance, collecting the departure tax and reporting to the Austrian Ministry of Finance.
Our services include:
- create and file your application
- create you personal internal account
- track all your passenger movements and create monthly reports
- report to the Austrian Ministry of Finance
Costs:
- EUR 250 initial application fee
- EUR 100 per month account management fee
- 50% on all passenger fees as transaction fees
Your advantages:
- all necessary processes and communication with the Austrian Ministry of Finance will be handled by us.
- a simple report to us for each flight departing from Austria and the number of passengers on board is sufficient.
- simple payment of all charges and fees by credit card.
- you will receive a monthly reporting from us about all your transactions

Not an April fools joke but it looks like the legislation has been postponed or amended.
Discussed here already:

Sadly it's not a joke but as BP says it has been somehow amended.
The amazing thing is how far this one ran before somebody climbed out of the cellar and realised how stupid an idea it was.
Perhaps Austrian cellars are built deeper than others?
