verokortteihin

Verokortti is a Finnish term referring to a tax card, a document used to determine the amount of income tax and municipal tax withheld from an employee's salary. It is issued by the Finnish Tax Administration (Vero Skatt). The verokortti contains information about the individual's tax percentage, potential deductions, and other relevant tax details.

When an employer hires a new employee in Finland, they request the employee's verokortti to correctly calculate and withhold taxes. The tax percentage on the verokortti is determined based on the individual's estimated annual income and any approved deductions, such as work-related expenses or mortgage interest. This ensures that the correct amount of tax is paid throughout the year.

Individuals can obtain their verokortti electronically through the Finnish Tax Administration's online service, OmaVero, or by visiting a local tax office. It is important to ensure that the information on the verokortti is accurate and up-to-date. If an individual's income or financial circumstances change significantly during the year, they should update their verokortti to reflect these changes and avoid potential tax underpayments or overpayments. The verokortti is a crucial document for both employees and employers in the Finnish tax system.
