veroton

Veroton is a Finnish adjective meaning "without tax" (from vero, "tax", and the suffix -ton, "without"). It is used in legal, fiscal and everyday language to describe goods, services, income or transactions that are not subject to a particular tax. English equivalents include "tax-free", "untaxed" and, in trade contexts, "duty-free".

Common uses include veroton myynti (sales not subject to value-added tax), veroton tulo (income exempt from income tax) and veroton ostos in travel retail (duty‑free purchases). In public and fiscal discussion the term may refer to different tax regimes; for example, some supplies are exempt from VAT while others are zero‑rated, and the economic and administrative effects of those regimes differ even though both can be described colloquially as veroton.

Legal status and application of veroton items are defined in Finnish tax law and related regulations; eligibility, reporting obligations and potential restrictions vary by tax type. The designation affects pricing, consumer behavior and public revenue, and is relevant for businesses, taxpayers and tax authorities in compliance and policy analysis. Outside Finnish usage, veroton occasionally appears as a loanword or name in projects, brands or cultural references, but its primary sense remains the literal descriptive term for tax‑free status.
