Tulotiedot

Tulotiedot are data describing an individual's earnings and income-related items that are collected and stored by public authorities and, in some cases, by private institutions. The core elements typically include earned income (wages and salaries), pension and benefit payments, and other capital income, along with associated tax and social security information such as tax deductions, withholding, allowances, and contributions. The exact content may vary by system and purpose but is anchored in income reporting required for tax and social security administration.

Data are generated primarily by employers and other payers who report earnings and taxes to the tax administration, by pension providers, social security agencies, and financial institutions that handle interest and capital income. These data serve as a basis for calculating taxes, determining eligibility and amounts for social benefits, and for generating official documents such as tax cards and pre-filled tax returns.

Access to tulotiedot is restricted and protected under privacy and data protection laws. Individuals can usually view their own tulotiedot through official online services provided by the tax administration and related authorities, and sharing requires consent or a lawful basis. Corrections and updates are possible when discrepancies are found, for example through tax declarations or by notifying the competent authority.
