    Taxing offshore wind in economic zone

    Property tax and income tax will be introduced for offshore wind turbines built in Finland's exclusive economic zone, with the majority of the revenue allocated to the state and one-fifth to neighbouring coastal municipalities. At the same time, property tax on offshore wind power will be reduced so that its taxation corresponds better to that of onshore wind power.
