The Finnish Tax Administration on Thursday announced that it has concluded restructuring negotiations with employee representatives, and that up to 200 jobs at the agency would end up being cut.
The figure was the same as the office's initial estimate as it announced the start of redundancy talks in September. At the time, the agency said it needed to save 60 million euros by the end of 2027.
Last spring, the Tax Administration's director warned that budget cuts planned by the government would endanger the agency's services.
It was determined during the negotiations that around 30 of the agency's workers could be relocated to other regions. Further decisions on possible layoffs and job relocations are expected by the end of the year.
It said terminations will affect employees in units whose workload was permanently reduced due to automation, for example.
Altogether, the negotiations affected about 900 employees. As of last year, the Tax Administration employed more than 5,300 people, according to the agency.
