Good for Finland. In other places, it's not nice to count other people's money, along with their prescriptions, medical conditions, and everything else that other people prefer to keep private. ("Transparency" without control over your own information telling the whole world vs. opt-in sharing.)

But our neighbors taxes is our money, and the fact that they were paid correctly is our information. If one starts at that, then yes we count eachothers' money. But it's not as simple as "everyone should know everyones' private information". It's rather that the public part of the information (who pays their taxes properly etc) is public and that, as a negative side effect perhaps, gives the income data away. Who knows, perhaps maintaining public tax ledgers while hiding the actual amounts is something that can be solved technologically by for example a blockchain.
