Background & Purpose

During the autumn of 2025, members of parliament submitted many suggestions for changing how income is taxed. These proposals covered everything from tax credits for working to deductions for home services and green investments.

The Decision

The parliament decided to keep the tax rules exactly as they are today, meaning none of the suggested changes will be implemented.

Does this affect you?

  • Employees: Their income tax levels and existing job tax credits remain exactly as they were before the vote.
  • Homeowners and tenants: The rules for RUT and ROT deductions for cleaning, gardening, and renovation work remain unchanged.

In Practice

  • The current rules for job tax credits remain unchanged.
  • Deductions for home services (RUT) and home renovations (ROT) continue under existing regulations.
  • No new tax reforms or adjustments to the basic tax deduction will be introduced.
  • The tax system remains stable without the proposed modifications.
