A month ago, the Finnish government adopted a resolution on increasing the tax rate for the purchase of an apartment on a mortgage. To date, the tax rate is 1.6% of the value of the property, but as already reported by HomesOverseas.ru , from January 1, 2013, it was supposed to increase to 2%.
Now the deadline for raising the mortgage rate has been postponed to March 1, 2013. The decision to postpone the application of the new rate is due to the government's desire to produce sufficient instructional information for buyers.
