START-UP NOTIFICATIONS TO THE TAX ADMINISTRATION

A new company must submit a start-up notification to the tax administration registers and the Trade Register using the same form. If the company already has a business ID, it should use the amendment notification form.

The tax administration registers referred to here include the prepayment register, employer register and VAT register.

The notification form depends on the type of company as follows:

Start-up notifications

• Y1 serves as the general start-up notification for limited liability companies, cooperatives, etc.
• Y2 is the start-up notification for general partnerships and limited partnerships
• Y3 is the start-up registration for private entrepreneurs.

Amendment notifications

• Y4 is the general amendment and termination notification for limited liability companies and cooperatives and branches of a foreign entrepreneur
• Y5 is the amendment and termination notification for general partnerships and limited partnerships
• Y6 is the amendment and termination notification for private entrepreneurs.

Completed forms, with appendices, should be sent to The National Board of Patents and Registration - Tax Administration, Business Information System, P.O. Box 2000, 00231 Helsinki. Notifications may also be delivered to the National Board of Patents and Registration Customer Service (PatRek-Customer Service; address Arkadiankatu 6 A, Helsinki), the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY Centre), the local register office or the Tax Administration's customer service.

Business ID

Once the registration form has been filed with the National Board of Patents and Registration, local register office, an Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY Centre) or a Tax Administration office, the company will be granted a business ID. The business ID must always be used in matters related to tax administration and the trade register. When the start-up notification is filed with the NBPR PatRek Customer Service, a local register office, a Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY Centre) or a Tax Administration office, the person delivering the notice will be given a certificate of arrival and the business ID of the company will be noted thereon.

The business ID must be printed on the company's invoices, orders and offer forms. The company must also use the business ID in contractual matters and other legally binding activities.

The notification forms (in Finnish and Swedish) are available on the Internet at the Business Information System website.
