Those working in the maritime sector must submit a change tax card to the unemployment fund for the benefit from the beginning of February. The tax card for maritime income may not be used to pay the benefit. Because of this, the tax information is not transferred to the A-kassa’s system. If the unemployment fund does not have any tax withholding information at all, the tax is withheld based on the amount of the daily allowance in accordance with the tax administrator’s annual decision on the matter. For example, if the daily allowance is 51.01-66 euros, the withholding tax is 35%, and if the daily allowance is 66.01-100 euros, the withholding tax is 40%.
