Finnish statutory year

JANFEBMARAPRMAYJUNJULAUGSEPOCTNOVDECFY ENDSDECEMBER

Annual deadlines for a Finnish limited company, counted in months from the end of its financial year. Select one to see the provision it comes from.

Every month, regardless of financial year

  • Incomes Register reportWithin 5 calendar days of each pay date
  • Employer's separate reportMonthly, by the 5th
  • VAT return and paymentMonthly, by the 12th
  • Corporate prepayment instalmentMonthly, by the 23rd

Dates shown are the statutory deadlines for the common case: a Finnish limited company on a monthly VAT period. A quarterly or annual VAT period, an extension, or a non-standard financial year changes them. This is a calendar, not advice on your company.

What we do

Four things, done properly

An accounting practice is judged on whether the return was right and whether it was on time. Everything below is built around those two questions.

Compare all four in detail

How it works

What actually happens when you get in touch

No proposal deck and no discovery phase you pay for. Four steps, in this order, every time.

  1. STEP 01

    A first conversation

    Thirty minutes on what your company does, who is doing the books now, and what has gone wrong before. No charge and no obligation, because we cannot tell you anything useful without it.

  2. STEP 02

    A written scope

    What we will do each month, what we need from you and by when, who signs what, and how the fee is calculated. If the work does not suit us we say so here, not after you have moved.

  3. STEP 03

    Identification, then handover

    The Finnish Anti-Money Laundering Act requires an accounting firm to identify its client and the beneficial owners before the work starts. Then we take over the ledger, agree the opening balances, and confirm the filing calendar.

  4. STEP 04

    The monthly cycle

    Books closed, returns filed on the statutory dates, and figures back to you with a note on anything that changed. When we give an opinion, the provision it rests on is named in writing.

Interactive

See what your company's year actually requires

Move the inputs and the tool applies published Finnish statutory thresholds: which VAT period you are entitled to, whether an auditor must be appointed, and the filing dates your financial year produces. It calculates obligations and deadlines — never a fee, and never a saving.

This estimator applies published Finnish statutory thresholds to the figures you type. It does not calculate tax, it does not quote a fee, and it does not estimate a saving. Its output is a starting point for a conversation, not advice on your company, and the thresholds it uses should be confirmed for your financial year before you rely on them.

Boundaries

Work we decline

Naming the boundary is part of the advice. Countex Oy does not take on the following, and will say so at the first call rather than after an engagement letter.

  • Statutory audit engagements and any work requiring an HT, KHT or JHT approval.

  • Investment, securities, insurance or credit advice of any kind. We are not authorised by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority.

  • Arrangements whose purpose is to conceal income, assets or beneficial ownership from an authority.

  • Clients or transactions we cannot identify to the standard the Finnish Anti-Money Laundering Act (444/2017) requires of an accounting firm.

  • Consumer tax returns as a standalone product. Countex Oy works with companies and their owners.

Before you send this

  • Who receives it. Countex Oy, Business ID 0149516-4, c/o Miettinen, Pohjoisranta 2 E 13, 00170 Helsinki, Finland. We are the controller.
  • Why. To answer your enquiry and, if you want one, arrange a first consultation. The legal basis is GDPR Article 6(1)(b), steps taken at your request before a possible contract, and Article 6(1)(f), our legitimate interest in replying to a business enquiry.
  • No consent is asked for, and none is required. There is no tick-box here because consent is not the basis we rely on, and consent demanded as the price of sending a message would not be freely given.
  • How long. 24 months from your last contact, then deleted. Where an engagement follows, accounting records are kept for the period the Finnish Accounting Act requires.
  • Where. Stored on our website server operated by Namecheap, Inc. in Los Angeles, California, United States — outside the EEA, under Standard Contractual Clauses.
  • Your rights. Access, rectification, erasure, restriction and portability, and you may object at any time to processing based on Article 6(1)(f). Write to info@countexoy.com. You may also complain to the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman (Tietosuojavaltuutetun toimisto).
  • Do not send confidential figures here. This form is for making contact. Ledgers, payroll data and tax documents are exchanged after an engagement letter, through a channel we agree with you.
