(Deduction is applicable only if the local tax office has recorded it in the tax-at-source card). ▪ Nonresidents can apply for progressive taxation on the condition that they are a residents of a country within the EEA or of a country that has a tax treaty with Finland. – Finland only taxes income from Finnish sources, but taxable income from country of tax residence has an increasing effect on taxation in Finland. ▪ Nonresidents are normally not expected to submit an income tax return in Finland.

  • Excise Duties in Finland in a Historical Perspective
    Excise Duties in Finland in a Historical Perspective Leila Juanto 1 Excise Duties as Consumption Taxes In Finland, “excise duties” denote a certain, distinct group of consumption taxes. However, the term is not defined unambiguously in the literature, and problems abound when one begins looking for equivalents in the history of taxation in Finland or in the tax systems of other countries. As used today, the term nevertheless refers quite consistently to taxes that are levied on the basis of particular legislation and, in principle, explicitly called excise taxes in that legislation. In this perspective - the formal concept of excise duties - the excise duties in Finland comprise the excise duty on manufactured tobacco, the excise duty on alcohol and alcoholic beverages, the excise duty on electricity and certain energy sources, and the excise duty on soft drinks. One thing serving to clarify the concept of excise duty in the European Union, of which Finland is a member, is that excise duties fall into the category known as harmonized taxes. Clearly, EC Directives profoundly influence the content of the excise duties levied on certain products. As excise duties are part of the system of consumption taxation, it is appropriate to discuss their distinctive features and the ways in which they differ from the other taxes in that category. Here, the salient concept to consider is that of a material excise duty; in other words, taxes that share distinctive features can be classified as belonging to the same group. Consumption taxes are taxes levied on the consumption of goods and services; the taxes can be subdivided into general and selective consumption taxes according to how extensive the group of commodities is to which the tax applies.1 In terms of this classification, excise duties are selective taxes, the tax 1 Here, there is no reason to consider the occasional question whether the taxes on commodities used in entrepreneurial activity fall into the category of consumption taxes or whether such taxes are merely taxes on consumption by private households.

  • FLAT TAX for FINLAND
    FLAT TAX for FINLAND A simple and fair tax system that promotes growth Martti Nyberg www.eva.fi EVA’s homepage contains reports, articles and other material in Finnish and in English. Publisher: Taloustieto Oy Cover: Antti Eklund Printing: Yliopistopaino 2006 ISBN 951-628-443-4 FOREWORD “Playing With Numbers: A Flat Tax for Finland” Dr. Martti Nyberg, an economist at the Finnish Business and Policy Forum, EVA, has proposed a tax reform plan for Finland. He sets forth a convincing case that shifts the tax base from income to consumption, reduces marginal tax rates on individuals and enterprises, and improves incentives to work, save, and invest. If enacted, it would enhance Finland’s international competitiveness. In his report, Nyberg first describes some of the disadvantages of the current tax system in Finland. He then explains the economic advantages of a con- sumption-based flat tax. A tax system based on consumption exempts all new investment from the tax base every year. This provision increases the stock of capital that makes workers more productive and enables them to earn higher incomes. Nyberg builds on the flat tax plan I developed with my Stanford colleague, Robert E. Hall, reviews the work of others, and develops an appropriate model for Finland. He focuses on three important features of the new system: sim- plicity, fairness, and growth. Taking as his starting point the Hall-Rabushka flat tax, Nyberg proposes a flat- tax plan in which all Finns are winners. The flat tax has proved successful in each of the ten countries that have adopted it since 1994 in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
