Ministerial pay and allowances and ministers' private interests

Ministerial pay and allowances are defined in the act on the Members of Parliament's salary.
A minister's salary equals that paid to the deputy speaker of Parliament. The salary paid to the prime minister equals that of the speaker of Parliament. Ministerial salary is subject to tax.

Ministers serving as Members of Parliament are also entitled to Member of Parliament’s salary and expense allowance. However, Members of Parliament appointed as ministers forfeit half of the salary and expense allowance they receive from Parliament.
