Government scraps flat-rate home office tax deduction
Briefly

In 2024, remote workers could deduct up to 960 euros from their taxes, but this deduction is no longer available without actual expense documentation. While employees can no longer claim a simplified deduction, deductions based on actual expenses remain. Annukka Vähäsöyrinki from the Finnish Artists' Association mentioned that this change won't significantly affect many visual artists who rent studios. However, she raised concerns over the government's decision to cut four million euros from renovation aid, which has played a crucial role in keeping studios affordable and supporting artists during repairs.
This does not really concern us, as we usually rent separate studios, but the cut in investment aid for renovations affects us significantly.
The government cut four million euros from investment aid for the renovation of cultural spaces, impacting studio rent affordability significantly.
