Maksattomissa

Maksattomissa is a Finnish term used mainly in formal, administrative, or financial writing. It denotes a state in which a payment is not being requested, charged, or pursued. In practice, maksattomissa can describe invoices, fees, or charges that have not yet been billed or that payment obligations have been suspended, depending on the context. The word is derived from the verb maksaa (to pay) and is formed with the -ttom- infix and the inessive/essive suffix -issa, producing the sense "in a state of not being charged." Because of its formal character, maksattomissa is most likely to appear in contracts, accounting records, or legal documents rather than in everyday conversation. It is distinct from maksuttomasti (free of charge) and maksamatta (unpaid), which convey different nuances: maksuttomasti refers to waiving a fee or offering something free, while maksamatta indicates an unpaid amount that may still be due. In some contexts, maksattomissa can imply that a billing obligation is temporarily suspended or not applicable.
