Our service agents can access your information
When our service agents assist you on the phone in how to use the service, they can see your information in MyTax. Unfinished information will not be used in your tax assessment.
We will store your activities in MyTax so that we can investigate any faults or malfunction that may occur in the service. We will destroy the recordings after 30 days.
Non-disclosure order limits access
If you have a non-disclosure order for personal safety reasons, MyTax shows the information covered by the order both to you and your authorised agent. At the Tax Administration, only named employees have access to the information.
In exceptional cases, our service agent may see your contact details in a recording. The service agents are Tax Administration employees and bound by confidentiality.
MyTax may ask you to provide personal information for tax assessment and for improved customer service
The Tax Administration collects, saves and processes personal data for purposes connected to the assessment of tax.
After you have filled in the phone number fields in MyTax – your personal and/or company’s phone number – it will be easier to contact you. This is useful if the Tax Administration requires additional information to process your income tax return or a request for tax card. The phone number will also be used for sending you SMS messages about upcoming due dates, etc.
Data security and the processing of personal data
Text messages from the Tax Administration never contain links
Frequently asked questions
You can use MyTax on a computer or a mobile device, such as a tablet or a smartphone. You will also need internet access and a web browser. Make sure cookies and JavaScript are enabled.
For the best MyTax user experience, use the latest version of any of the most common browser software:
- Microsoft Edge
- Google Chrome
- Apple Safari
- Mozilla Firefox.
Logging in to MyTax using Suomi.fi e-identification on older browsers and operating systems has been technically blocked. Read more on the website of the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.
To take care of the tax matters of your underage child, log in to MyTax and select “Act on behalf of someone else”.
Exceptions:
- If a child has a non-disclosure order for personal safety reasons, their guardians cannot act on their behalf.
- If all the guardians of a child have a non-disclosure order for personal safety reasons, none of them can act on behalf of the child.
- If only one of the guardians has a non-disclosure order for personal safety reasons, only the guardian with the non-disclosure order can act on behalf of the child.
These terms are in place to protect information covered by non-disclosure.
If none of the guardians can act on behalf of the child, a separate Suomi.fi authorisation is needed, and each guardian must accept the authorisation. The person with the Suomi.fi authorisation can then act on behalf of the child. To grant and accept an authorisation to manage tax matters, you need to go to the Suomi.fi e-authorisation service. How to grant a Suomi.fi authorisation for tax matters
If the child has personal online banking codes, they can use MyTax themselves.
