Das Oberste Verwaltungsgericht Finnlands hat eine Berufung des Lebensmittellieferunternehmens Wolt in einem Fall bezüglich der Besteuerung von Lieferkurieren abgewiesen.
Das Urteil bedeutet, dass Einkünfte von Wolt-Kuriern als Löhne behandelt werden müssen und das Unternehmen verpflichtet ist, Steuerzahlungen von den Einkünften einzubehalten.
Wolt hatte im August letzten Jahres eine Entscheidung des Central Tax Board angefochten.
Plötzlich wird das Geschäft nicht mehr *profitabel* sein? 🤔

None of these bloodsuckers ever were or could have been profitable. I like the idea of a delivery app and I’ve had plenty of food orders and groceries delivered by Wolt drivers, but unfortunately the exploitation isn’t going to make a long-running business.
Work is just too expensive compared to actual purchasing power in Finland,. that’s the verdict. If I paid 5€ in cash for delivery it might be okay , following laws and regulation delivery would cost 10€.
Wolt itself could be just shutdown here, barely nothing of value would be lost.
Honestly, the government should step in and create The Official Quick Delivery Platform. Everyone benefits here from the network effect and an effective highly regulated monopoly might be the best solution for everyone (except the stock owners).
I understand that this will never happen and it is commie and gay or whatever, but it would likely be the most non-dystopian way to do this type of app work without deteriorating all the employees rights and whatever
How else should the income be treated than as wages? It is crazy we even have to have a discussion. You work, you get paid, you pay taxes.
A significant % of Wolt drivers in Helsinki consist of subsitutes that pay monthly premiums to their owners to deliver. Medium price is 300€/month although I’ve seen offers for 400-700€/month. Highest I’ve seen was 900€/month + 1500€ buy in.
Yes I’m serious.
