The materials for creating an inbound file must comply with the specifications published by the Finnish Tax Administration. The complete file must match the applicable format requirements. The system checks the files during the data transfer process.

Inbound files can be transmitted via the Ilmoitin.fi web service. Access to Ilmoitin.fi can be arranged as a direct software interface or via the ilmoitin.fi website.

The Finnish Tax Administration updates its file specifications regularly at different times of the year, depending on the types of filings. Software developers must carefully follow the currently valid specifications, requirements and time schedules for e-filing.
