Do Finnish companies have to undergo an annual audit? When is the annual audit required?

Finnish companies are not subject to annual audits, but are required to produce annual financial statements, hold shareholders' meetings, and file income tax and VAT returns, and we can assist our clients with Finnish company tax compliance.

Do Finnish companies need to file income tax returns? What are the tax rates? When should I file?

All Finnish companies are required to file an annual corporate income tax return, even if the company is not in business. The Finnish income tax rate is 20%. Finnish companies must submit their financial statements within four months after the end of their fiscal year (generally January 1 to December 31) or, if your company's fiscal year does not coincide with the calendar year, within three months after the end of that fiscal year.

When signing company/compliance documents, should the client also fill in the date?

No. Clients should sign documents without filling in the date. Leaving the date blank avoids having to re-sign if an error is found and the documents must be corrected.
