Why did I receive a summary?

You have received a summary if, for example, there is a tax left unpaid, or if the Tax Administration has settled your tax debt with a refund. Companies and organisations with an ongoing business activity also receive summaries regularly.

Example: The due date for an individual taxpayer’s real estate tax had been 6 August. The individual taxpayer forgets to pay it by the due date. Because the real estate tax was not paid, the Tax Administration sends the individual taxpayer a summary, by letter, at the beginning of September. The summary displays a reminder message referring to the unpaid tax. The summary also contains instructions for payment. The taxpayer can see the summary immediately on 1 September in MyTax.

Taxpayers who use Suomi.fi messages only receive the summary in MyTax. No paper summaries are sent to them by letter.

If you are having financial difficulties, you can ask for a payment arrangement to be made.
