The Finnish Government has proposed increases to the municipal property tax next year.
At present, the general property tax on land and real estate not used as a permanent residence is charged at various rates between 0.8-1.55 percent on the taxable value of a property, depending on municipality. This tax will increase to 0.93-1.8 percent in 2017 under the Government's proposals.
In addition, the real estate tax rate for permanent residential buildings will increase from 0.37-0.8 percent this year to 0.41-0.9 percent in 2017.
The tax on undeveloped land earmarked for building will also rise next year, from 1-4 percent to 2-6 percent.
The proposals form part of the Government's 2017 Budget and are estimated to raise an additional EUR50m (USD56m) for the municipalities.
