Starting from 01.01.2019 all payments to employees, employer taxes and contributions will need to be reported to the new Incomes Register. Previously used employer tax declarations to Verohallinto will no longer be used. Furthermore, all payments-related info will also be available to the pension insurance companies, the Finnish Unemployment Insurance Fund and other related organizations. Below we have gathered a wide-ranging list of detailed instructions by Verohallinto and other resources in English for getting familiar with the new requirements and procedures.
