Declaring VAT on-line.

Post by curlies7 » Sat Jul 10, 2010 6:06 pm

Hello!

Need some advice regarding VAT.
I've recently returned to Helsinki and restarted the ol' toiminimi - I've been informed that the monthly declarations are done on-line but can't find the link: the lady at the Vero wasn't too helpful. Any help?
If there are any other changes that have occured since April 2009 (when I left Finland), I'd appreciate knowing.

Cheers in advance,

tom

What's new is the Verotili service. Instead of having to type all sorts of information as to which month and which tax and so on while paying, you just pay whatever you need to pay, using the same reference number every time. Also, the due date for VAT declarations and payments is now the 12th and not the 15th (June VAT is due on August 12th and so on). The balance of your Verotili (positive or negative) will grow interest.

You'll find the service at http://www.vero.fi/verotili.
You should be able to log in using your personal online banking credentials as identification.

If your TMI is relatively small you only need to do the VAT returns quarterly but this must be agreed up front with Vero.
There are also short courses available (TE Keskus) if you need help. viewtopic.php?f=37&t=43918

Use the search engine to get more information, try using tax account system and toiminimi TMI VAT as keywords. There have been several long threads on this topic since the beginning of the year.
