Finland Proposes Tax Hikes on Fossil Fuels; Business Group Protests Increased Costs

摘要

Finland's center-right government Aug. 19 proposed a 2011 budget plan that would include tax breaks for renewable fuels and tax hikes on most fossil fuels.rnWhile the government said the plan would encourage the use of environmentally friendly fuels, a representative of the Confederation of Finnish Industries told BNA it would "heavily increase" the tax burden of many companies.
