On April 23^rd, the Finnish government announced a plan to lower income taxes “by €1.1 billion” and the corporate tax rate “to 18% from 20% in early 2027” aiming “to boost purchasing power as the economy is gradually recovering from two years of contraction” (Pohjanpalo 2025).

Henry George would applaud this plan and encourage the Finnish government to go even further by eliminating income and corporate taxes completely and introducing a land value tax. By removing the income and corporate taxes completely, individuals and corporations would have more spending freedom, thus spurring the economy. A land value tax would further help the economy by removing unearned income received from land speculation and returning it back to society. This tax would capture the land value that Finnish society creates and provide more stimulus for the Finnish economy.
