Financial Transactions Tax (FTT): Yes – tax in place
Finland levies a 1.6% financial transactions tax (FTT) on the transfer of certain Finnish securities, primarily equities, including bonds, debt securities, and derivatives. A higher rate of 2% applies to transfers involving Finnish real estate investment trusts (REITs) or housing companies. However, transfers conducted on a qualified stock exchange are exempt from the tax.
In addition, the FTT generally does not apply if both parties involved in the transfer are non-residents of Finland—unless the non-resident party is a company whose assets consist of more than 50% immovable property located in Finland and the securities being transferred are REIT or housing company shares.
