kertamaksuille

Kertamaksuille refers to a type of intangible tax payment levied in Finland. It is a supplementary tax collected by Transport and Communications Ministry. A kertamaksu is paid only when a company or individual purchases a car, boat or aircraft.

The purpose of kertamaksu is to compensate the Finnish state for the costs related to the purchase of vehicles. This tax rate varies between 5-20%, depending on the type and size of the vehicle. When a vehicle is purchased, the buyer is required to pay this tax in addition to the purchase price.

Kertamaksu is not a one-time payment but a recurring tax that needs to be paid every year after the vehicle is purchased. The amount of the tax is calculated based on the vehicle's engine power and the tax rate. It's worth noting that kertamaksu is an indirect tax which is often considered an additional expense by vehicle buyers.

The tax revenue generated from kertamaksu is used to fund road maintenance and other transportation-related expenses. The tax is collected from vehicle buyers and owners every year. Failure to pay the kertamaksu on time can result in penalties and fines. The deadline for payment of kertamaksu varies based on the local taxes. The Finnish tax authority, Vero, is responsible for collecting this tax.

In summary, kertamaksu is a unique tax levied in Finland that aims to compensate the state for the costs related to vehicle purchases. It is an additional expense that vehicle buyers need to account for, in addition to the purchase price of the vehicle. The tax is subject to change and is calculated based on the vehicle's specifications and tax rate.
