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
- tax consortiums, if everyone among the partnership's shareholders can log in to the e-service, and they are citizens of Finland, and the partnership is for agriculture, forestry or real-estate holding.
