Ansiotulovähennys refers to a tax deduction in the Finnish income tax system. It is a deduction from earned income, specifically income derived from employment or self-employment. The purpose of the ansiotulovähennys is to reduce the tax burden on individuals who earn income through work.

The amount of the ansiotulovähennys is not a fixed sum but is calculated based on the amount of earned income. Generally, the deduction increases with income up to a certain point, and then it may remain constant or decrease slightly at very high income levels. This structure is designed to provide a more progressive tax relief, benefiting those with lower to moderate earnings more significantly.

The ansiotulovähennys is automatically applied when calculating income tax. It reduces the taxable income, meaning that the tax is calculated on a smaller base amount. This, in turn, results in a lower final tax liability for the individual. The specific rules and calculation methods for the ansiotulovähennys are determined by Finnish tax legislation and can be subject to annual adjustments by the government. It is a key component of how earned income is taxed in Finland, aiming to support labor market participation and provide income relief.
