Self-assessed tax return (4001e)
You can file and pay self-assessed taxes (such as value-added tax or lottery tax) in MyTax.
Tax returns on self-assessed taxes must be filed electronically. Filing on paper is allowed only in exceptional cases.
You can submit the information electronically, for example:
- via an API
- by uploading a file to the Ilmoitin.fi e-service.
As for the paper VAT return, the Tax Administration will release an updated version as of 1 January 2025. Up to the end of 2024, the paper form available today will continue to be used.
