Finns racing for that sweet flat tax of Estonia (but also half the average net salary so hmm).

Oops.

I guess it was too absurd to be true.

What do you know about taxation in Estonia? Curious. The flat tax is on income ? Is there really a land value tax ? Thanks.

Estonia is kinda shitty imo (im estomian🇪🇪). We dont have any big political activity except Tartu. Most people are still with this soviet mindset that you can't have impact on anything. Which lead to status quo coming to power , thus increasing poverty, and now conservatives get more popular, because they promise infinite QoL and money glitch, which will lead to even worse conditions of the country i assume. Estomian electorate can not think about any left idealogies apparently.

BTW: eventually i decided to revive the Pirate Party of Estonia. So if there is some true patriotic estomians, visit https://piraadid.ee/

Estonia tax rate is 22% on personal income -- so for both income and capital gains. Also the dividend/corporate tax is quite company-friendly, companies pay corporate taxes only for money taken out as profit. I'm sure there are some details here that I don't know about rising the tax rate slightly from what I say here, but not by a lot afaik.

Quite the heaven for economic right-wingers. On paper at least. I'm guessing the practical reality (including a bit higher risk from Russia, I guess) isn't enough for that many Finns to move there, whatever their politics.
