veloitetaan

Veloitetaan is a Finnish verb form, the present tense in the passive voice of the verb veloittaa, meaning to charge, bill, or debit a fee or amount. In use, veloitetaan signals that a charge is applied to a customer, account, or service, with the actor that performs the charge left unspecified.

In typical contexts, veloitetaan appears in invoices, receipts, and terms of service to state that a fee will be or has been applied. Examples include: “Palvelusta veloitetaan 9,90 euroa” (A charge of 9.90 euros is applied for the service) or “Hinnasta veloitetaan arvonlisävero erikseen” (Value-added tax is charged separately on the price). The wording is neutral and formal, suitable for legal, commercial, and administrative texts.

Difference from related terms: veloitetaan conveys the act of charging itself, while laskutetaan emphasizes sending an invoice. In practice, both describe charges, but laskutaminen tends to focus on invoicing as the mechanism, whereas veloittaminen focuses on the act of imposing a charge.

Grammar and usage notes: veloitetaan is the present passive form, which makes it versatile for general statements about fees or recurring charges. It can be contrasted with forms such as velottiin (past tense) or veloitetaan tulevaisuudessa in contexts that specify timing. The tone remains neutral and informative, appropriate for contracts, policies, and consumer communications.
