Two thirds of Finns would not increase alcohol tax

Ms. Hyssälä, please listen to the citizens of Finland (instead of a bishop?)…

A poll by Nelonen indicates that 65 per cent of Finns would not increase the tax on alcohol, the commercial broadcaster said in a television news bulletin on Thursday.

According to the survey carried out by Marketing Radar, 36 per cent of Finns would back a tax hike.

The polling agency interviewed about 1,500 Finns. It puts the margin of error at 2.4 per cent either way.

  • Jormanen

    Sorry, but I have to say this in finnish: “Kyllä kansa tietää”.

  • Freeridin’ Franklin

    75 per cent of the citizens of Finland would prefer that the government paid all the taxes.

  • Nicholas Korpelainen

    I whole-heartedly support a raise in alcohol taxes. In fact the lowering of them turned out to be a dreadful mistake.

    If you ask an average Finnish drinker whether the price of his/her booze should go up, what do you expect!
