I'm Confused & Need Help

Post by inahaibeh » Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:35 am

Hello everyone,

I'm offered a FREELANCE Job, but the job is offered from a company with is not located in Finland. They ask you to deal alone with your Tax and any social, pension, ect...

They will pay me 65 Euros / Task (Task is for two hours a day) but the work isnt daily, which means i will work one day and three days off and then 2 days and 4 days off, so its
not a stable job its just as its name ''Freelance''.

I receieve Kela Benefits i think its (Työttömyysturva) actually im not sure as im living under three years now in Finland but i will complete three years in few days
but anyway im not getting työttömyyspäiväraha and I'm very confused on how to deal with this (BTWN: I have a family consisting of two children and wife. My wife
is currently unemployed, My Questions Are:

1- Do i have to make a freelance tax card or not? how can it be done?

2- How Can i pay tax for this 65 Euros, shall i just come at the end of the year and fill in all what i have receievd for the year in the Tax return papers that everyone gets at the end
of the year or what? (IF YES. How will i have to deal with the KELA?)

3-What would be the best advice for me on approaching the KELA office to report that freelance job that im offered to start in the soon future (IF I ACCEPT IT), what is the right way
to ask and what to say which will be the best for me in my situation?

4-Will the Kela subtract what i get as a freelancer from the totall they give me monthly and say here you go you get the rest from us? and what about housing support issues?

P.S: Honestly and Frankly, I really dont want to put all my load on the freelance job as it might be work today and not work forever again loool so i want to grab on something else aside (i.e/kela)

Guy's i'm really in need for every single peice of advice, i would be very thankful, and thanks in advance anyways. :D

Best Regads for all :D

For the KELA related questions it would probably help if you said what specific benefits you are getting at this moment
