I moved from Helsinki to Espoo
I am wondering if I need to go to KELA or Tax office personally/call them or changing address to post office is enough?
My in-laws say that post office errand is enough but I am not sure about it though
new address information to KELA and Taxman
Tax man should not be a problem as the greater Helsinki area main office is in Myyrmäki/Vantaa anyway. but sod law rules so...if you dont get a tax form next year...best call them...or pop into the tax office is Espoo it is behind Stockmanns in Tapiola somewhere..
But Kela..is a law unto itself..based on experience..when I moved from Kannelmäki to Vantaa..I wrongly assumed Kannelmäki would inform Kela in Vantaa...
Wrong when I had occasion to renew my kela card coz old one was getting tatty...Vantaa did not have my data in their system....But it was no big deal they sucked it out of Kannelmäki heti..

People do not become more irritable as they grow old - they simply stop making the effort to avoid annoying others.
I think it is magic.... no need to run around. But it might take a while for some private commercial companies to update their database (eg S-kortti etc). And I have noticed that the Post Office is brilliant at forwarding mail. I have had letters posted to my old address that have eventually arrived here and we moved 5 years ago!!!!
Don't worry... the tax man will find you!

You actually get it the easiest done calling the magic number they have 0203 456 456
If you fill in the big multiple form you need to tick in the boxes that you "change address" as in post office delivery and "move domicile" as in officially to the maistraatti.
KELA and Tax Office say "piss off" as "you are in the computer" - you need to get the "right computer" to be informed which the "other computers" believe
You'll get an automated letter saying who moved to your address within a week. From the väestörekisterikeskus... if you don't get one, you haven't moved
Oh, and it pays to shell out the post office the money to forward stuff for the whole year.
