Hi,
I would like to ask a question about taxation rule. In particular the [capital income tax](https://www.vero.fi/en/individuals/tax-cards-and-tax-returns/income/capital-income/) that pertains [selling a property abroad](https://www.vero.fi/en/individuals/housing/selling_your_home/selling-an-apartment-located-abroad/#:~:text=Report%20capital%20gains%20and%20losses%20in%20your%20Finnish%20tax%20return)
I have a following situation. I inherited a family house after my parents passed away. This particular house was however obtained around 1 year before both of my parents passed away. They bought it by selling their previous family house. At that time of buying the new house, I have lived in Finland already, so I didn’t live in the actual house I inherited. I lived in the previous house the have sold until my adult life.
The reason I’m mentioning it is because the tax authority clearly states the following:
>
If you have owned an apartment and used it as your permanent home for at least two years without interruption, the capital gain you may receive is exempted from tax in Finland.
But I wanted to ask if there was *any* possibility to be exempted from that tax? The inheritance I got from selling the house is not large at all (\~10k euros) and paying the capital income tax on that is rather steep (30%). If I would have to pay that tax, I wouldn’t invest and move my money into Finland at all. So it’s kind of a 1 year gap and a different property that was sold from the house that I actually lived in that would make me legally exempted from this capital income tax. But it’s still my family house nevertheless, the only property I will ever have in my home country.
I guess it’s also worth mentioning that the tax for selling this property is paid in my home country.
Is there any way to work around this rule so that I could invest my money in Finland?
