What is Tax Account Online? :
Tax Account Online is an electronic service where you can file your Periodic Tax Return and browse your Tax Account transactions free of charge.
It also provides Tax Account Statements. Statements are stored on the website for three years. The name of the website is Verotili-palvelu in Finnish, and Webbtjänsten Skattekonto in Swedish.
In Tax Account Online you can:
** file Periodic tax returns and any additional periodic tax returns
** file VAT EU Recapitulative Statements and corrections to them
** monitor your Tax Account balance and transactions
** check the bank reference number and payment instructions
** check current reporting periods and due dates
** select how you want to receive your monthly statements
** select refund times and set the limit amounts for your refunds
** browse statements and tax returns in the Archive
** print out statements, monthly sum-ups and reports
** use the Balance Calculator to determine the amount to pay and to work out possible late payment interest on a desired payment day
** send your bank account number
If you file a Periodic tax return electronically via the Tax Account Online website it will immediately be stored in the Archive. This means that you can browse your filing at any time later, and you will have a record of when you sent it in. However, the Archive only shows the Periodic tax returns that were submitted via the website itself. There is usually a delay of two days before the submitted amounts are recorded. This not only concerns taxpayer-reported amounts but also the payment data arriving from banks to the Tax Administration. Tax Account Online always shows the most recent date up to which payments have been recorded.
In the Demo, you can try Tax Account Online without logging in.
