guests of the Finnish Independence Day Reception at Tampere
Hall (Tampere Talo), venue that accommodates some 4,000 people. It is not the ?rst time that the

Only hours after the report,
the police administration issued a

for instance, it was held at Finlandia Hall (Finlandia Talo). We

Therefore,
the goal is to make the taxes
paid by partnerships and sole
traders competitive with
those paid by limited-liability companies. As such, I would like to address a few
points I feel at odds with the professor?s views.
1. Zone of peace! Let's not forget which country initiated what invasion, which made such a military presence
necessary . When corporate
taxes were cut, there was a
real risk that a dividend tax
system approaching double
taxation would be adopted.
THE DECISION
of the corporate tax rate to 20 per cent
was ?nanced mainly by raising taxes on dividends distributed by listed companies.
There was also an increase
on taxes on dividends paid by
unlisted companies, albeit a
slight one.
THE REDUCTION
THE OVERALL tax
rate in Finland will now be back at the
level of 2005-2011, at approximately 26 per cent,
which used to be the taxation rate for corporations
and dividends. This is an incentive
for enterprise. The oil situation
is a recent ?nd, and besides is he saying that Argentina is
not interested in exploiting the resources. I understand
this is how journalism works but surely such a divisive subject deserves some balance from both sides, or a neutral
perspective maybe. The countries have
similar cultural backgrounds
and this, with their geographical proximity, means that even
small and medium-sized enterprises are tempted to expand
their markets and look for new
manufacturing locations for
their products in these neighbouring countries. As for the UK simply wanting to exploit resources like
oil, how does that explain the population being there so long
before the possibility of oil was discovered. Britain has had claim to the Falklands since before
Argentina existed! Let's not forget that Argentina itself is
a former colony of Spain, and after they gained their independence Luis Vernet went to the Falklands and asked the
British for permission to build a settlement which they allowed; he then went on to declare himself governor and have
the exclusive ?shing rights whilst hoisting the Argentinian
?ag, the British objected to this, and this is when the settlement was removed.
I am writing with regard to what I thought was a biased

For this reason, dividends

Tax reform looks to the future
FINLAND will reduce the corporate tax rate to 20 per cent
at the beginning of 2014.
Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen?s government has agreed
on the reform of corporate
and dividend taxation, with
the aim of promoting the
growth of businesses and
creating new jobs. Another positive aspect of the tax decision was that the government
restrained from raising the
value added tax, which was
another real threat.

it is understandable that the
tax hikes have also provoked
questions, particularly while
the changes are ongoing.

heavier than taxation of limited companies. He speaks of Argentinian intellectuals who have
succumbed to the British press whilst repeating Kirchner?s rhetoric about anti-colonialism, whilst at the same
time demanding their right to colonise some islands 300
miles from an area of land they themselves colonised off
the Patagonians! As they are so anti-colonial are they
planning on giving land back to the Patagonians. It is counterbalanced by the chance for
companies to grow more
quickly, brought on by lower corporate taxes. Currently, these dividends generally come under
single taxation. His stance on international law makes no mention of
the right of self-governance; this applies to many former colonies who have used this right, many choosing to stay under UK governance. He states that Argentina has the support of many nations . In recent
THE
SWEDISH
years, many larger EU member
states have also lowered their
corporation tax rates to attract
foreign investments.
AFTER the reform, the corpo-
rate tax rate in Finland will
go below the Swedish tax rate
of 22 per cent, while in Estonia, income left in the company is not taxed, with taxes
only paid on pro?ts distributed to shareholders. Another point
that needs to be ensured is
that the new dividend taxation will not apply to pro?ts
accumulated before the tax
reform enters into force.

Caveats
Some politicians, such as
Halla-aho, use the statistics
to justify deporting immigrants. For example, 57 per
cent of crimes committed by
foreigners are not perpetrated by immigrants but are instead committed by foreign
visitors not living in Finland.
When one only considers
crimes committed by immigrants, they are found to only be slightly more likely to
commit crimes than native
Finns: immigrants make up
3.4 per cent of the population
and 4.9 per cent of criminals.
There is a broad tendency across the globe for foreigners to make up a larger
proportion of criminals than
natives. This applies to Finns
abroad as well. The next largest groups
were Russians and Swedes,
which numbered 7,000 and
1,400 respectively. A year later, that number had doubled.

Love
Amy: I worked two winter seasons in ski resorts in Lapland
and there I met my boyfriend who I?m marrying this summer!
Ben: I married a Finn, and though she speaks perfect English, I want to be able to speak with her and our kids in her
language!
Tom: I am moving to Finland in a year to spend the rest of my
life there with the woman of my dreams. The greatest obstacle is the vocabulary, which requires memory;
and the teacher cannot memorise for you.?
Be that as it may, the reputation of Finnish to be a dif?cult language to learn is
widely spread and this (mis)
conception was also joked
around in our poll. Language is key to
understanding Finland and its culture.

Heavy metal, love and business, what do they

Music
Jenn: I?ve always been in love with Finnish rock music and
heavy metal. Students
from Hungary in Joensuu
have the particular motivation of attending courses particularly designed to explore
the similarities between the
Finnish and Hungarian languages, which are thought to
have a common origin.
Among the general population, love, business, family ties and social integration
are the most common motivations to learn Finnish,
according to an online poll
conducted by Helsinki Times.
Our survey collects touching
stories of foreigners mov-
ing to Finland to start a new
life with their loved ones, entrepreneurs who consider
speaking Finnish to be both
a necessity and an advantage
in the working life, sons and
daughters of Finnish expats
coming back to Finland, and
people who simply want to
be able to shop at the grocery
store or to understand what
people are talking about in
the streets.
Whatever your case is,
motivation is always important when learning any foreign language. Famous in Finland since the release of their debut album, they achieved worldwide recognition in 1998 with their

Yaniv: I don?t study it officially but I learnt a lot from the great
Finnish music I listen to often, especially to the amazing Suvi
Teräsniska and Jenni Vartiainen.

but then I learned a few words from the Internet and I think it

The UK
Centre for Retail Research
conducted a study to observe which products end
up more frequently in the
pockets of shoplifters.
The result of a survey
that included more than
250,000 food stores in 43
countries, sees cheese as
the most often stolen good,
as 4 per cent of cheeses
around the world end up
in the hands of thieves.
Cheese is the best product
for ?retail stealers?, for the
fact that it?s easy to slip into the pockets and it gets a
decent price on the street.
The analysis assessed that
most thefts are based on
resale; in other words,
those who steal rarely keep
the products for themselves and try to make
money out of them instead.
Other foods that are
often targeted are fresh
meat, chocolate, alcohol,
seafood, as well as, surprisingly, infant formulas.
In Finland, sweets, alcohol and high-priced meat
products attract shoplifters the most. ?It was nice
to see see children running
around and people having a
good laugh and talking! This
is how we see Sogno: a place
not too formal, where everyone is welcome to come and
spend time,. The study, conducted
on approximately 500,000
people, showed that the

However, traditions and

Sogno?s kitchen was scheduled to be open until 23:00,
but it continued to serve food
until midnight. In the late

cent, and has kept on growing despite the introduction in 2008 of harsh ?nes

playing with sounds and inventing new ways of playing the traditional instruments.
