Taxation
The Finnish welfare society is maintained by tax revenues. Health care, education and the other services that people require are all financed out of tax revenues.
All of those who work pay tax to the local authority and the government from their earnings. The tax that goes to the local authority is a certain proportion of earnings in accordance with the income tax percentage set by each local authority. Government taxation is progressive: people with a high income pay more tax than those with a low income. Tax is also paid on capital gains. Members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church and the Orthodox Church pay church tax to their parishes.
Consumers pay value added tax (VAT) on products and services they purchase, and companies credit the tax to the state. The VAT percentage varies according to the product or service in question.
Finns living abroad only pay tax once. There are mutual tax agreements between states, which prevent double taxation.
Ministry of Finance takes care of the preparation of tax legislation and the development of the Tax Administration in Finland. The Tax Administration carries out taxation in practice. Tax offices look after customer services, tax collection and bookkeeping.
Finnish Customs and Finnish Transport Safety Agency Trafi handle taxes that come within their own legislation. Pensions and insurance institutions collect payments that are due to them.
