Pay Your TV Tax
For some reason, Finland imposes a TV tax on its citizens that, if left unpaid, could leave the offender facing some jail time. It’s been steadily rising over the years, and right now, it’s at a hefty 2.5% of a household’s taxable income. Yikes!
It’s to help pay for Finland’s public broadcasting stations, but you’re required to pay the tax, even if you don’t own a TV.
