verotiedoista

Verotiedoista is a Finnish term referring to information related to taxes. In practice, the concept covers data about an individual’s or a company’s tax status, including declared income, deductions, tax calculations, tax decisions, and related notices supplied by tax authorities.

In Finland, verotiedot are maintained by the Finnish Tax Administration (Verohallinto) and are subject to both national legislation and EU data protection rules. Tax data are personal data and are protected by privacy laws, with strict rules on who may access them and under what circumstances. The processing of verotiedot must follow principles such as purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, security, and limited retention.

Contents commonly encompassed by verotiedoista include income from work, entrepreneurship, and capital; deductible expenses and tax credits; taxable income and tax payable; prepayments and tax cards; and official tax decisions or corrections. The scope may also extend to historical records and supplementary notices issued by tax authorities.

Access to verotiedot is generally restricted to the data subject and to persons or entities with a lawful basis to view or receive the data. Individuals can typically access their own verotiedot through secure online services or by submitting a formal request. Disclosure to third parties—such as employers for taxation of earnings, financial institutions, or other authorities—requires consent, statutory authorization, or a defined legal purpose.

The handling of verotiedoista aims to support tax assessment, compliance, and informed financial decisions while ensuring data protection and security. Retention periods and deletion procedures are governed by applicable tax and data protection regulations.
