Hi, could you please help me understand car tax in Finland. I am planning to buy a car and I have some question regarding finnish car tax system. I am planning to do some business in Finland and I need van.
I find the official calculator of tax car (
https://www.vero.fi/ ) and it seems that for this kind of car:
- Renault Trafic,
Car type: Van,
Introduction 2012,
Total mass 2790 kg,
Power: Diesel,
CO2 emission data with WLTP measurement method: 180 g / km,
price: 7900eur
the annual car tax is
2100euro/year.
I am shocked ... Is it possible that I will have to pay tax around 25% of the car price annually, year by year???
But when I check on the web page, where I can buy used cars for similar car, tax car is
320 EUR/year. It is written that:
The annual vehicle tax consists of a basic tax and a propulsion tax. Calculated based on the date of commissioning, total weight and power of this car.
Which one is correct in Finland: 2100euro/year or 320euro/year? I will be greatfull for your help

Hi, anybody can help me? I can't understand the official information
Are there different taxes in Finland: vehicle tax, car tax and road tax?
What is the difference between them?

https://www.traficom.fi/en/transport/ro ... ehicle-tax
So you are looking at 276,67€+(0,009€*365*28)=368,65€/year

Visa is for visiting, Residence Permit for residing.

Thank you!
I understand also that this bigger tax is the tax pay once for a car imported to Finland, during registration.
