Austrian Student Union Payment - ÖH Fee:

According to Austrian Higher Education Regulations, Student Union Fee payments are obligatory at each Higher Education Institution in the country where a student has enrolment status as full-time, or visiting student. Despite paying the fee at your home institution, the fee must be paid at the host institution when you enrol in courses for credit. Double payment however means that you will be eligible for reimbursement of the second fee payment from ÖH directly.
