Pensioner, the 2025 tax card goes into effect already in January
Next year, tax cards for pensioners and employees will enter into force as early as 1 January 2025. The change will come into effect automatically for our pensioners, and you don't have to worry about it.
The Tax Administration will make the change to make it easier to monitor income limits. When the tax card is valid for the entire 12 months of the calendar year at a time, the taxpayer does not need to order new tax cards throughout the year.
In previous years, the new tax card did not enter into force until the beginning of February.

Are you just about to retire?
Pensions are taxable income just as other earnings are. Therefore, we require your tax card for pension income. Apply for a pension tax card from MyTax immediately once you have received the pension decision from us. In the following years, we receive the tax card annually directly from the Tax Administration.
When you retire on an old-age pension, you can order a pension tax card already after receiving a temporary pension decision.
