Income tax

Corporate income tax for the financial year, as reported in the financial statements.

Finland taxes a company's profit as it is earned rather than when it is distributed. The corporate rate is 20% of taxable income, and a profitable company reports income tax every year.

The figure in the accounts will still not equal the rate times profit before tax: accounting profit and taxable profit differ because of non-deductible costs, tax-exempt income and losses confirmed in earlier years.

How a shareholder is taxed on a dividend is a separate question, and does not appear in the company's own accounts.
