Yle to publish Finland’s top earners’ tax data after 8

Yle will publish new tax information on Finland’s highest earners after receiving the data from the Finnish Tax Administration at around 8 a.m. The figures show who had the highest earned and capital income in 2025, Yle reports.

Yle’s tax search tool will list people whose combined taxable earned and capital income was at least 150,000 euros. About 38,000 people exceeded that threshold a year earlier. The tool will also show how much tax each person paid and their tax rate, and will allow users to search the data and view figures from the previous four years.

The Tax Administration collected a total of 47 billion euros in tax on income earned last year. Taxes on earned and capital income rose by nearly five percent year on year, while taxes collected on capital income increased by 13 percent.

Yle says it reports tax information to support fact-based public discussion, scrutiny of the use of power and openness in society. It notes that tax records do not show a person’s wealth and do not reveal their full income: deductions can make taxable earned income lower than salary, while capital income may include tax-exempt portions or deductions for earlier losses.

In a story published the previous day, Yle reported that Iranian-born Saber Kordestanchi had sold investors part of his company, Hostaway, and was expected to rank among Finland’s highest earners. Yle described him as the first immigrant born outside Europe to reach the top of the country’s tax and income rankings.
