veroineen

Veroineen is a Finnish expression used after a noun to indicate that taxes are included in the amount. It is most commonly seen with prices, for example hinta veroineen meaning “price including taxes.” The phrase can also appear as kokonaishinta veroineen or hinta veroineen ja toimituskuluineen, among other constructions.

Etymology and usage notes: Veroineen is formed from the noun vero (tax) with a suffix that marks inclusion, producing a fixed postnominal phrase. It functions as a standard expression in Finnish, widely understood in everyday commerce and official documents. The form signals that the stated amount is gross, encompassing applicable taxes.

Context and semantics: In Finland, prices shown to consumers are typically presented including value-added tax (ALV). Veroineen therefore helps distinguish gross prices from tax-free prices (veroton). In advertising and receipts, the use of veroineen clarifies that the total payable amount includes taxes, helping consumers compare costs.

Examples:

- Hinta veroineen on 19,90 euroa.

- Tämä tuote maksaa 39,99 euroa veroineen.

- Hinta-veroineen ja toimituskuluineen on esitetty kauppaliitteessä.

Related terms: Veroton (excluding tax) and ALV/arvonlisävero (value-added tax) are the related concepts commonly encountered in Finnish pricing and taxation discussions. Veroineen is one of several phrasing options that businesses use to convey gross pricing in consumer contexts.
