  As someone who was advised to wait 6-12 months for a tax refund in Finland (not a standard payroll/prepaid tax) [1] I'd say it's because 'the system' is still the old system from the past that hasn't entirely kept up with the fact that in this day and age: - A limited company is not always a giant manufacturing concern - An ever increasing amount of the population will not have been born in and will not be living their whole lives in Finland. IT is a nice frontend for it and can serve you in many languages and with the latest and greatest UX - but the actual processes and decisions are not keeping pace. Changing these is a high-friction, low-reward endeavour for politicians.

    I thought those delays were meant to encourage you to declare everything in advance on your tax card.

      I am talking about transfer tax on property which is completely different. In my opinion, the tax card system effectively just moves the deadline for the tax return to Nov/December so you can ensure it's completely up to date then and not pay anything extra.
