Business lobby: Scrapping tax break for remote work will hit self-employed hardest
Briefly

The Federation of Finnish Enterprises warns that eliminating the home office deduction of 960 euros will increase tax burdens for small business owners and sole traders in Finland, impacting over 4,000 individuals. Tax expert Laura Kurki emphasizes that those earning between 2,000 and 8,000 euros will be the most affected. She proposes maintaining a reduced deduction of 750 euros to alleviate some financial strain on self-employed individuals, who currently lack equivalent deductions compared to salaried workers. The change is predicted to affect around 350,000 taxpayers in 2023.
According to our estimates, this decision threatens to tighten the tax situation for over 4,000 sole traders, despite cuts on earned income tax. - Laura Kurki
