Tax reductions etc

In this section, you specify the bases for tax reductions to be offset against municipal and state income tax, state property tax and municipal property fee.

The reductions are calculated by the program and transferred to Tax computation - Tax reductions, except for Settlement of foreign tax, which is transferred to its own item in Tax computation.

When an input field has a corresponding field on the INK1 tax form, the specified amount is transferred there.

Tax reductions

The total tax reductions may not exceed the sum of the following:

  • Municipal income tax
  • State income tax on earned income (also tax on expansion fund)
  • State income tax on investment income
  • Property tax and property fee

This means that tax reductions cannot be offset against, for example, national pension contribution, burial fee or church fees.

The following tax reductions may only be offseted against municipal income tax:

  • Tax reduction for income from employment
  • Tax reduction for sickness benefit and activity compensation
  • Tax reduction for earned income

  • Tax reduction for living in sparsely populated areas
