Report data on paid wages to the Incomes Register

The employer or other payer reports to the Incomes Register paid wages and other earned income  with a separate earnings payment report for each income earner.

• One report includes data on one payment transaction paid to a single income earner.
• You can report several income items of different types, such as monetary wages, fringe benefits and kilometre allowances, for the same income earner on the same report.

Data reported to the Incomes Register includes wages, fringe benefits, fees, non-wage compensations for work, and other earnings. Tax-exempt and taxable reimbursements of expenses must also be reported.

There is no monetary minimum threshold for information reported to the Incomes Register.

• An exception from this rule are competition prizes worth no more than EUR 100. These do not need to be reported to the Incomes Register if the person receiving the prize is not in an employment relationship with the giver of the prize.
