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.
