Organisations: Authorise parties to use the Incomes Register’s e-service

The Incomes Register’s e-service can only be used on behalf of a company or organisation by an appointed representative. Others require a separate authorisation. Authorisations can be granted for individuals or companies.

Who can grant an authorisation?

Authorisations can only be granted by:

  • the company’s Managing Director
  • the Managing Director’s substitute
  • officials authorised to sign for the company/organisation
  • sole traders
  • individuals to whom one of the above has given the right to grant an authorisation.

How are authorisations granted?

Authorisations are granted in the Suomi.fi e-Authorisations service. The majority of organisations can grant authorisations independently in the service. Certain organisations need to grant authorisations with the help of an official.

In the Suomi.fi e-Authorisations service, the following parties can  grant authorisations independently:

  • limited liability companies
  • housing companies
  • limited partnerships
  • general partnerships
  • sole traders
  • foundations and associations that have registered representatives who have the right of independent representation
  • natural persons.

  • companies, in which several people cannot jointly grant authorisations, for example, due to signing rules
