Lisävähennyksille

Lisävähennyksille is a Finnish term referring to additional deductions that can be claimed on income tax. These deductions are intended to reduce an individual's taxable income, thereby lowering their overall tax liability. The specific types of lisävähennykset available can vary depending on individual circumstances and current tax legislation.

Common examples of deductions that might fall under the umbrella of lisävähennykset include expenses related to work, such as travel costs to a place of employment if it is not fully compensated by the employer, or expenses incurred for necessary tools or equipment. Home office expenses can also sometimes qualify, provided certain conditions are met. Furthermore, deductions related to education or professional development may be applicable if they are directly linked to one's current employment.

It is important for individuals to be aware of the criteria and limitations associated with each type of additional deduction. The Finnish Tax Administration (Verohallinto) provides detailed information on their website regarding what expenses are deductible and how to claim them. Proper documentation, such as receipts and travel logs, is usually required to substantiate any claimed deductions. Claiming incorrect or unsubstantiated deductions can lead to penalties.
