New taxpayers' association says be happy 54 minutes ago


Finns should be happy about paying some of highest income taxes in Europe. At least that's what Finland's new Happy Taxpayers' Association says.
The association wants Finns to focus on the public services they receive rather than dwelling on negative thoughts about income tax.
"I don't think there is another official association like ours in the world," group vice-president Anna Tommola said on Monday.
She was speaking after the association, boasting some 250 members, was recognized by the national board of patents and registrations.
"We want to raise positive but critical discussion about taxes," Tommola told Reuters.
The main Taxpayers' Association of Finland, with 190,000 members, focuses on lobbying for tax cuts.
