To further complicate the system, the tax could change depending upon whether the company is private or listed on the stock exchange, as well as the relationship between the size of the dividend and the company?s equity, and if the recipient of the dividend is itself another company.

However, Finance Minister Jutta Urpilainen of the Social Democrats expressed her wish for the proposal to be re-examined, and Katainen presented updated information to Parliament. According to Katainen, the portion of dividends which would be tax free would be progressive. When dividends exceed 150,000 euros, 85 per cent will be taxable. If they are under that level, 25 per cent will be subject to the regular capital gains tax. Along with the plan to cut the corporate tax rate from 24.5 per cent to 20 per cent, the lowering of taxes on dividends is expected by the Government to help smaller businesses. According to the Education Department, Korhonen?s actions endangered the IN RECENT student?s right to a safe learning environment and the dismissal, therefore, was inevitable.

We do that while we modernise our law system, leaving the communist constitution behind, and we ?ght our battle with our own resources, just as Finland did during the Winter War. Please note, that 3 years ago Hungary was in the same bad economic shape as the three Mediterranean states listed. Repeating a wrong thing does not make it right, and to me the version I cited above is extremely plausible, and it completely changes the picture of the ?EU vs. But, at the same time, isolated cases should not negate the efforts and policies of the competent Greek authorities which are faced with a huge socio-economic problem caused by the current political developments and lack of stability in the Middle East and North Africa. Please understand, the basis of the Hungarian law was changed in 2011. Hungary decided on a free election to give that job to FIDESZ-KDNP and their small allies, like LUNGODROM, a Roma movement. which appeared in the Helsinki Times dated 2127 March 2013, I would like to inform your readers of the following. Firstly, I would like to emphasise and underline the fact that the Greek Government has not and does not turn a blind eye to the multifaceted problems of migrants and refugees in Greece and in the adjacent geographical area. As is well known, Greece constitutes the European Union?s south-eastern most extended land and sea border which has been constantly subject to a massive illegal migration and asylum seeking pressures resulting in hundreds of thousands of illegal economic migrants and refugees who have found their ?rst shelter in Greece. In this regard, the Greek Government is determined to tackle the problem effectively and humanely in accordance with the EU acquis on migration and asylum. For 20 years Hungary, which became an EU member in 2004, has been using the same temporary constitution. Do you need to do the same for Hungary. Cord, I recall the nice days and years I spent in Helsinki and the victories of Finland I witnessed. I was there when the Finnish Markka lost its value and I was not able to exchange it to German Marks because there was no exchange rate. Do you remember that day. Please feel free to write anytime you see something in the Helsinki Times which interests you. Sincerely, David. Yes, unless someone is in the room where the discussions are taking place, one can never be too sure of what happens behind closed doors. One of my favourite sources for information on the European sovereign debt crisis is the Wall Street Journal, which has consistently been able to report on happenings during the EU?s internal meetings. That was the time Finland was ?ghting for its economical survival and independence, and Finland has won. However, Cypriot representatives themselves preferred to somewhat protect these deposits and instead to involve the ones up to 100,000 euro (with 6 per cent). Do we have the right to win? Viktor Toth Dear David, I?m a bit disappointed by your populist EU bashing in the article The Cypriot precedent, especially since it is most probably based on wrong information. You claimed that the EU initially required Cyprus to violate the EU-wide 100,000 euro deposit insurance, but to the best of my knowledge it was not the EU/Troika partners who proposed this! The EU merely required those 6-7 billion euro to be raised by Cyprus and initially recommended to take quite a lot from the deposits exceeding 100,000 euro. own and do not represent the official policy of the Helsinki Times. Letters from readers Does Finland have the right to independence. I suspect their source is either a Finance Minister or one of their closest aides. They report the bank levy was put together by Thomas Wieser of Austria and Jörg Asmussen of the ECB. How does it sound, written in a Finnish newspaper, while Finns are famous for being able to be neutral and objective? These are the days, my Finnish friends, when we ?ght for both our economical and political independence. Do you need to spend Finnish taxpayers' money to help out Greece, Spain or Cyprus? Yes you do. Equally obvious, the presence of hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees strains the already over-burdened economic situation in Greece and affects the social cohesion of Greek society. As agreed upon by all European players, illegal migration and asylum seeking has become European Union?s problem, which constitutes a core principle in EU law, and should be addressed by all member states in an equal and fair manner. To this effect, the Greek Government is fully committed to completing the establishment of a common European asylum and migration system. Yours sincerely, Christos Kontovounisios Ambassador of Greece in Helsinki Helsinki, 1.4.2013 Best regards, Clemens DAV I D J . Those were the days when Finland was ?ghting for its democracy and Finland won. Hungary was still occupied by Soviet troops in 1990, and the communist constitution (from 1949) was not replaced, it was only modi?ed. The engine of that brave political move was the hunger for freedom and independence planted into the Hungarian souls . They got a two-third majority. With the FIDESZKDNP government, Hungary is decreasing its state dept, and has made serious steps to balance its state budget. How does it sound if someone repeats a critique on already modi?ed paragraphs. In an effort to reform the asylum and immigration process, and in cooperation with the appropriate institutions within the EU, Greece has already embarked on a comprehensive system of relevant legislation. Greece has created the Revised Action Plan on Asylum and Migration Management. The plan is devised to meet the current special challenges of irregular migration, to rationalise the asylum system, to tackle abuse, and to establish an effective system of border management and returns policy. Was the ?rst version not perfect? The corrections were already made in 2012 to please the EU, and those corrections included the part about the National Bank that the HT article cites. The constitution now protects what Hungarian people believe to be the values in our life. The rest of the process was Mr. Before the 2010 parliamentary elections it was clear that the FIDESZ-KDNP coalition would have won, the question was only if they would get the right to write a new constitution. 17 APRIL 2013 HELSINKI TIMES Viewpoints are commentaries written by experts and authorities about specific topics.

Only a few people believe that somebody might abuse the bene?ts.

One in every four people who receives basic unemployment bene?ts has at times gone hungry, while only 3 per cent of There are also more people with ?xed-term positions. Four years ago, 289,000 people, or 13.3 per cent of the workforce, had ?xed-term jobs. Most of the people living on basic unemployment bene?ts have had to relinquish their hobbies. To cope with their everyday needs, one in every three Finns who receives basic unemployment bene?ts and lives alone has sold their possessions, and 82 per cent have borrowed money from friends or relatives. In the Netherlands, where almost half of those employed are considered part-time, the unemployment rate is only 5.8 per cent. S T T TARU L AIHO . 26.6% Sweden ............... Four years ago, before the full force of the economic recession took effect, 77.3 per cent of all jobs were fulltime and permanent. There has been a slow but steady increase in the use of part-time workers over the past decade. 17.9% Finland ............... With the cutbacks in public transport, expensive taxi rides are the type of transport for which allowances are most often paid. The fact that patients have a high deductible may also make them unwilling to get treatment for their medical problems, which may, in turn, increase the health gap, Airio says.. This increased to 14.1 per cent by 2007, but the ?nancial crisis allowed employers to cut those not on permanent contracts, so the percentage fell to 13.3 per cent in 2008. says the OECD. ?The growth of part-time employment has been especially important for groups that are often under-represented in the labour force, such as women.? Nations with a higher percentage of its workforce that are employed part-time tend to have much lower unemployment rates. 4 DOMESTIC 11 . More than 50 per cent have gotten help from a bread line and more than 25 per cent have gotten some form of support from the church. Benefits are not easily granted According to Senior Researcher Ilpo Airio, almost all Finns are willing to raise the level of income support. The maximum amount of travel expenses to be paid by a citizen as the deductible has increased last year, from 157 to 242 euro. However, the number of men in positions that are not full-time has grown 7 per cent over the last four years, over twice as fast as the number of women. The increase of part-time jobs is not always considered to be a negative situation as it also reduces unemployment.

According to researcher Mikko Niemelä, around 70 per cent of Finns believe that those people who fail to receive the bene- tional jobs, but failed to come up with any proposals labour leaders found satisfactory. Artto says the failure is down to employers. The total value of these suspected cases was 4.4 million euro or around three per mille of the total bene?ts paid by Kela. Almost all Finns would also like to reduce the maximum annual amount to be paid by a citizen for health care and deductibles. Despite this, the development in the case of travel allowances, for example, is very worrying, according to researcher Yrjö Mattila. 26.0% EU 27 ................. The other one out of four had either temporary or part-time work. C O R D HEL SINKI TIMES IN DECEMBER, three out of four Finnish workers had permanent, full-time jobs. The researchers say that even they might not be able to ?ll out some of the required forms. Last year, Kela looked into about 1,700 suspected cases of bene?t abuse, of which 1,300 investigation requests were ?led. Historically, almost twice as many women have part-time jobs than men. Now it is 301,000, or 14.5 per cent of the workforce. Labour leaders tend to see the growth of such jobs as an unfavourable development for workers. ?Generally speaking, they do not have all the rights that employees in full-time and permanent employment relations have, and also their economic status tends to be lower than that of their full-time, permanent job colleagues,. More than 25 per cent of these people have paid their rent after the due date and more than one in every three has paid their bills late due to the lack of money. One in every three unemployed Finns had not bought all the medicine they would have needed because they did not have enough money. In 2000, only 12.3 per cent of those em- ployed were considered part-time. HT ten Finns has had to refrain from buying medicine due to lack of funds.

The best part is that such a system would normally help those more likely to be marginalised. The YLE article quoted Ruby van Wekken, one of the guiding forces of the Helsinki time bank Stadin Aikapankki, as saying time banks build ethical, non-commercial community solidarity as well as support small non-pro?t groups. For many large multinational corporations, having subsidiaries in tax havens is part of normal, everyday business conduct. Finnish companies are not an exception to this, which can be seen from their annual reports, according to Ylönen. To start an offshore subsidiary to reap ?nancial bene?ts through various means is perfectly legal. ?It?s not in any way exceptional for a company to have a subsidiary in the British Virgin Islands. A study by Ravid and Sundgren found that only 29 per cent of small Finnish companies could survive as a going concern after entering the old bankruptcy procedure. The Tax Administration supported Teljän Kuljetus. Even van Wekken is described as a ?community activist.. Many of those involved have bank accounts in the British Virgin Islands, but investments in the Cook Islands or Singapore are common as well. The information comes from the 2.5 million documents obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) which has members in more than 60 countries. ?The attitude has changed over the years and many tax administration representatives understand restructuring is an alternative to bankruptcy. There is also the requirement of contributing to the pension of someone you hire. In some 80 per cent of restructurings the Tax Administration is listed as a creditor, and they have not always proven to be willing to work with a company in ?nancial trouble. ?The Tax Administration?s approach to restructuring was initially quite negative,? Arko-Koski told the Helsingin Sanomat newspaper.

TIME A TAX of?cial was quoted in Yle?s story explaining that if you recompense someone for doing something, this is taxable income. What is more interesting is what the subsidiary is used for and what is made public about it,. They appear to be completely correct, however: these are commercial transactions and should fall under normal tax legislation and regulations. AN IMPORTANT point is that time banks are not wholly of a commercial nature. HT INVESTING FUNDS in a tax ha- ven is a simple procedure. And their full potential for that, they need to be legitimised. to be reached they need to be commercialised.

The use of tax havens decreases transparency and cuts taxes paid by companies. With restructuring, typically creditors must re?nance or take a partial loss so the troubled company can continue operations. Yet in restructuring proceedings it is normally essen- tial for creditors to willingly participate. After a certain point, the bene?ciaries of time banking would be taxed on a progressive scale. Anyone can establish an offshore company without breaking a sweat, reveals an expert. ?All it takes is English skills and some email correspondence. And we both should declare these services received as taxable income in some fashion. AS USUAL , the tax authorities are seen as meddling, heartless bureaucrats ruining a good thing. Just like our regular income tax system, I envisage low levels of time banking use as being tax free. C O R D HEL SINKI TIMES EEVA ARKO-KOSKI, the Bank- ruptcy Ombudsman, has complained that the Tax Administration is inconsistent and heavy-handed when it comes to some companies in ?nancial trouble.

Over the years, there have been scores of special envoys, including former US president Bill Clinton who oversees Haiti; Norwegian diplomat Terje Rod-Larsen, who was the UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process and now oversees Lebanon; and Jeffrey Sachs, a Columbia University professor who is the Secretary-General?s Special Adviser on the Millennium Development Goals. While their primary incomes come from other positions they hold outside the United Nations, they are on a nominal dollar-a-year salary, but are entitled to lavish perks and bene?ts, including travel and hotel accommodation while on their assignments. The ACABQ was told the appointments ?did not entail the establishment of posts, and that extra-budgetary funds had been used to meet the costs associated.

But there has been little or no transparency either on the guidelines for the appointments or expenses incurred by the special envoys. Speaking on condition of anonymity, a G77 source told IPS that all UN appointments are subject to rules and regulations, including guidelines relating to equitable geographical distribution, gender balance and highest standards of ef?ciency, competence and integrity. But, on the face of it, none of these apply to special envoys, he said.

Following up Tron: Legacy (2009), director Joseph Kosinski adapts the premise of his graphic novel of the same name, taking its inspiration from the sci-? ?ick of the 1970s. Changing gear somewhat, Romanian ?lm Beyond The Hills tells the story of a woman who is determined to rescue her childhood friend SO, ARE YOU from a Romanian monastery. Take a detour and head to GLORIA where the second longest running off-Broadway musical I Love You, You?re Perfect, Now Change is being staged from 12-22 April. Performed in English with its original score for the very ?rst time in Helsinki, this amateur production is produced by Thespians Anony- mous Theatrical Society, a group of theatre a?cionados based in Helsinki. The musical is composed of independent snippets, which embark on the journey of dating, romance, and different stages of relationships and life after marriage. The director of the musical, Nihan Tan?ser, feels it is easy for the audience to relate to the characters. ?The best part about this musical is that even though it does not have elaborate sets on the stage or major plot twists, there is a lot of content in the show and it is very easy to identify with the characters and their stories.? The challenges of putting up a musical are quite different than a play production. ?I have always considered musicals a very complicated and demanding form of theatre because a musical actor is usually required to sing, act and dance at the same time, and shows always feel so multidimensional,.

Nicknamed the ?Duracell Bunny? for his proli?c work ethic, Prättälä was involved in 10 different albums from seven different out?ts between 2002-2006, and nominated for the Jazz Emma Award four times. Aside from producing albums by the likes of Janna and local soul pioneer Sami Saari, Prättälä has also made a name for himself as a solo artist, known simply as Tuomo.

Such an extraordinary premise is kneecapped when a sternly religious priest believes that demonic forces possess the rescuer, and that it?s now his divine mission to exorcise them from her. Finally, the bluntly titled Swedish ?ick Eat, Sleep, Die offers the tale of a young Eastern European immigrant factory worker who is faced with a painful choice when she?s laid off from her factory. Tan?ser adds. ?There is so much to admire in a well-written, wellstaged musical..
