Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo stated that the government will not proceed with the removal of the inheritance tax, emphasizing that there is no unified stance within the coalition. Orpo made these remarks upon arriving at parliament on Tuesday, reiterating that abolishing the inheritance tax is a long-standing goal for his party, the National Coalition Party.

Although some support has come from other parties like the Swedish People's Party and the Christian Democrats, the proposal has been firmly rejected by the leader of the Finns Party and Minister of Finance, Riikka Purra. Orpo explained that previous discussions on the inheritance tax, which took place both at the Säätytalo and during last year's budget discussions, did not yield any political agreement, and the Ministry of Finance has also failed to present sufficient economic justifications for such a move.

Furthermore, Orpo pointed out the increasing economic uncertainty as a significant factor against any tax reductions at this time. He noted that the economy has struggled to gain momentum, and despite some promising signs of growth, there have been setbacks leading to unfavorable conditions for potential tax cuts.
