Verotuksena

Verotuksena is a Finnish term that denotes something implemented or described as taxation. The word is formed from verotus (taxation) with the essive suffix -na, yielding the meaning “as taxation” or “in the form of taxation.” It is primarily used in Finnish policy, legal, and economic texts to characterize a revenue measure or financing approach.

In policy discourse, proposals may be framed verotuksena to indicate that the expected revenue burden arises from taxes rather than fees or charges. For example, a reform might be presented verotuksena as financing by higher general taxes, rather than by specific levies. Finnish example: “Hankkeen rahoitus esitettiin verotuksena lisäämällä yleisiä veroja.” Translation: “The financing of the project was presented as taxation by increasing general taxes.”

Grammatical notes: verotuksena is the essive form derived from verotus and is commonly used in formal Finnish to express “as taxation.” It can occur with nouns referring to taxes, revenue, or financing, especially in policy or legal discussions.
