Car tax in Finland

Post by KlaudiaC » Mon Oct 04, 2021 12:55 pm

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??? :roll:

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?

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.
