The support program of the City of Vienna to make repairing objects that are still functional compared to buying new ones financially more attractive. The repair voucher can be redeemed for repair services in companies in the repair network that are partners of the support program. 50 percent of the gross invoice amount is funded up to a maximum funding amount of 100 euros. The funding amount will be deducted from the invoice immediately. You don’t have to make any tedious requests for withdrawal.

Through the scheme,  50 percent of repair costs were subsidized by the city, capped at €100. The bonus, which covered anything repairable, from clothing and electronics to bicycles and furniture, was a success: Over 35,000 items were repaired through the scheme, saving 850 tons of CO2 emissions. Other Austrian cities had tried repair bonuses in the past, but the beauty of the Viennese model was in its simplicity: while previously customers had to pay for the repair in full and then jump through bureaucratic hoops for reimbursement, they can now simply pay half of the cost, with the rest reimbursed directly to the repair shop. In January 2021 Austria also reduced the tax (VAT) on repairs of bicycles, shoes and clothing.
