The correct information ensures that invoices are processed quickly and that payments are on time. Invoices that are missing information or which are marked incorrectly will have to be returned to the sender, in which case we cannot be held responsible for payment delays that occur as a result. The invoice must always meet the note requirements for invoices as referred to in the Finnish Value Added Tax Act.
More information is available on the Finnish Tax Administration’s website
