Finnish companies operating abroad

When you are planning to expand your business to other countries, keep in mind that the tax assessment depends on the country in which the company operates and on the legal form of the company. In value added taxation, the tax treatment of sales and purchases of goods and services is decided by the place-of-supply rules. If the place of supply is not Finland, you must check VAT liabilities in the target country.

Note that the Finnish Tax Administration does not offer information or instructions regarding other countries’ taxation. If necessary, contact the target country’s tax authority.
