Make sure your tax card is in order
We need your tax card for ensuring that the daily allowance is taxed correctly. We automatically receive your new tax card from the Tax Administration in January. This tax card is, however, meant for salaries and wages. If you only have a tax card that is designed for income from employment, we will have to tax your benefits at a higher rate according to the Tax Administration’s instructions. If you receive earnings-related daily allowance, you should request a revised tax card for benefits in the Tax Administration’s electronic service.
Raise to earnings-related daily allowance, new transition allowance introduced – read how the new law affects your benefits
The Unemployment Security Act is constantly being updated. The legislative changes that entered into force at the turn of the year raise the level of earnings-related allowance and child increases, make part-time work easier and introduce a new transition allowance. Read our summary to see what changed for your benefits on 1 January 2023.
