International payroll and employer matters

What does the service mean?

When an employee comes to Finland from abroad, or a Finnish employer posts an employee abroad, it has to be established in which country the pay is taxed and which country's social security scheme the employee belongs to.

Between EU countries, social security coverage is shown with an A1 certificate where needed. Taxation depends on the country of residence, the length of the work and the tax treaty between the countries. Reports to the Incomes Register (tulorekisteri) also have their own international details.

Who is the service for? Employers with foreign employees or work carried out abroad.
