You can only submit data on a paper form in special circumstances
Submit data electronically whenever you can. You can authorise another person or an accounting firm, for example, to submit reports to the Incomes Register’s e-service on your behalf.
Check all the electronic reporting methods
Paper forms can be used by guardians, private individuals and representatives of death estates. Companies can only submit data on a paper form in special circumstances if electronic reporting is not possible.

- Employer’s separate report: The deadline for a paper report is on the 8th day of the calender month following the payment date.
- Private individuals, i.e. household can submit both types of reports following the same schedule: by the 8th of the calender month following the payment date.

Example: Deadline for earnings payment reports
If the payer is an association, the deadline is 8 days from the payment date. An association pays a meeting fee on 3 January and submits a report using a paper form. The form must arrive in the Incomes Register by 11 January.
If the payer is a household, the deadline is the 8th day of the calendar month following the payment. A household pays wages on 3 January and submits a report using a paper form. The form must arrive in the Incomes Register by 8 February.
If you submit a report late, the Finnish Tax Administration may impose a late-filing penalty
