Finnish tax number

Procedure for obtaining a Finnish tax number

1. In order to get a Finnish tax number, you need a Finnish personal ID first.
   
   
2. Only one tax office in the Uusimaa region is able to issue Finnish personal IDs:
   Helsinki Area Tax Office, Hämeentie 15, 00500 Helsinki.
   
   
3. Make an appointment with the Helsinki Area Tax Office
   in advance by calling the telephone service at +358 29 497 050.
   
   
4. Fill in a registration form:
   
   6150 in advance of your visit to the tax office.
   
   
5. Also fill in the application form in advance:
   
   5057 if you are staying in Finland for 6 months or less, or
   
   5042 if you are staying longer.
   
   
6. When going to the tax office, bring with you following documents in addition to the pre-filled forms
   • A valid passport or official identity card from which you can easily be identified
   • your employment contract and a signed and dated document prepared by your employer, including following information:
     • name of employee and name of employer
     • what work you do in Finland
     • the time period you will be working in Finland
     • the place where the work will be done
     • who in Finland ordered the work
     • A valid residence permit or visa, if one is required
       (the need for a visa depends on the length of your stay and your nationality)
7. The Finnish tax number must also be registered in the public tax number register. Entry into the register does not happen automatically, so please ask for the registration into the construction industry register while you are at the tax office getting your tax number.

If you have worked in Finland before you most likely already have a Finnish tax number! You can check this by calling the Tax Administration service number +358 29 497 070. While on the phone, also check whether the tax number is still listed in the public tax number register and if not, ask for it to be added!
