About Taxation in Finland

Hi All,
I was in Finland and came back on 16th May 2008. My tax card shows some nominal %, Now should I will be charged
35% flat tax or it will be the same % as my company already deducted.

Few years back I had knowledge that if some one spend less than 180 days in one financial year than he will be charged
at 35% flat rate.

I was in Finland for almost entirely 2007.

Go to the tax office and with an estimate of how much you will be earning this year.

Hi,
Thanks for reply.

My question is bit different. I am already out of Finland (16th may), so in this financial year
I have spent less than 180 days in Finland. Will I be charged 35% Tax or its just depend on
how much earning I had in this year.

Hi All,
I called up Finnish Tax officer and got the answer. I am posting here just incase it will be helpful to someone.

If Total duration of stay is less than 6 months then finnish tax department will deduct 35% tax.

Since in my case I have spent 11 months from 2007 and 5 months this year.. total duration will be 16 months so I will be
tax normally according to my income in 2008.
