Personal taxation

Tax is withheld from earned income in line with the withholding percentage on the employee's tax card. The withholding percentage is calculated on the basis of taxation data on income from the previous tax year. You can apply to change it at www.vero.fi/verokortti, over the telephone or by visiting your local tax office. A tax percentage calculator helps to work out whether the withholding percentage should be changed.

Every year, the Tax Administration sends out a pre-completed tax return form to everyone who is over 16 years of age. Final taxation is calculated on the basis of the tax return. Finnish nationals who are moving abroad should sort out their tax affairs in advance with their local tax office.

When an individual or family commissions an outsider to do private work, the sums spent can be set off against tax as a household expense.
