Risto
Risto is a 67-year-old retiree from Finland who has dedicated decades to collecting and returning bottles, amassing between 4,000 and 5,000 bottles each year, which earns him approximately 500 to 800 euros in deposit refunds. He is passionate about maintaining environmental cleanliness and considers himself an 'eco-man' and a 'scrap dealer.' Recently, he was surprised to learn from tax officials that the refund money from bottles not purchased by him is considered taxable income. This revelation sparked a discussion about the implications of bottle refunds in the Finnish tax system, as Risto enjoys his hobby and the community interactions it brings.
