In Finland, tax records are public, but only top lists are published. To see records not on the top lists, you have to visit a tax office and view records on their terminal—no copies can be made, but you can take notes.

Note that at least in Norway only the high level numbers are public, like adjusted income, taxes paid and net worth.

These can are not really income etc as it depends on deductions which can change them a lot.
