The word is formed from vero, meaning tax, and toimitus, meaning delivery or fulfillment. In practice, verentoimitus refers to the broader workflow through which individuals and businesses report income, calculate tax liability, and remit taxes to the tax administration.

The concept encompasses activities such as submitting tax declarations (veroilmoitus), making payments, and communicating with the tax authority. It is supported by electronic channels and online services provided by the Finnish Tax Administration (Verohallinto), including electronic filing and payment facilities. Taxes involved in verentoimitus typically include personal income tax, corporate tax, value-added tax (VAT), and other duties where applicable.

Key aspects of verentoimitus include timely submissions and payments, accuracy of reported information, and compliance with statutory deadlines. The process may result in refunds, reassessments, or additional tax due, depending on the information received and processed by the tax authority. Communications related to verentoimitus are primarily directed to taxpayers through digital channels.

Relation to related terms: verentoimitus is closely connected with veroilmoitus (tax declaration) and veronmaksu (tax payment). It sits within the broader Finnish tax administration system, which aims to simplify and secure the collection and handling of tax obligations for both individuals and businesses.
