Have you been HERE yet?

I don't promise it will answer your questions, but it's a place to start.

you need to go to your nearest tax office and ask for a tax card (verokortti). Take your work contract or something with you and let them calculate your tax percentage. You get the verokortti immediately and need to hand it to your employer as soonest as possible, otherwise (if they don't have it in time) you'll get a 60% tax deduction from your first salary (but you'll get that money back eventually in the next review or so).
