Pay Hikes for Finnish Parliamentarians

Filed under: Uncategorized — Phil @ 11:10 am

Finnish Members of Parliament are to get two pay hikes within less than a year. From August, an MP’s monthly salary will go up from EUR 5,220 to EUR 5,400. Those who have been in office for more than 12 years will see their pay rise from EUR 5,600 to EUR 5,800.
A further rise will come from the beginning of April 2007, raising the monthly pay to EUR 5,540, and for those serving for more than 12 years to EUR 5,950.

A fairly important piece of information lacking in the above post is - if I recall the system correctly - this: the above figures are not wages for a job, they are “compensation” for “services” or some other functionally different classification. Anyway, the key difference is that it’s tax-free.
