Limited taxable person

Limited tax liability means a person who lives abroad (or stays in Finland for a maximum of six months), but receives income from Finland. Such income can be, for example, salary, pension or royalties. The taxation of a limited taxpayer in Finland differs from the taxation of a person living in Finland (a general taxpayer).

In general, a tax is levied on the income received from Finland by a limited taxpayer withholding tax

The amount of withholding tax varies depending on the type of income, and as a rule, tax deductions cannot be made for it

In certain cases, however, a limited taxable person may demand to be taxed progressively, in which case the taxation is similar to that of people living in Finland - this often requires more detailed explanations and the filing of a tax return.
