verotustiedon

Verotustiedon is a Finnish term referring to information related to taxation. It encompasses data collected and processed in connection with taxation by the Finnish Tax Administration (Verohallinto) and by other authorities, as well as data provided by employers, financial institutions, and individuals themselves. The information typically includes personal data such as name, address, and social security number, as well as details about income, deductions, tax cards, tax returns, tax assessments, and payment records. Verotustieto forms the basis for calculating tax liability, issuing tax decisions, and ensuring compliance with tax rules.

The handling of verotustiedon is governed by data protection and tax legislation. In Finland, it falls under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and national privacy laws, as well as the Tax Administration Act and other tax-related regulations. Access to verotustiedon is restricted to authorized parties and purposes; individuals have the right to access their own tax information and request corrections if needed. Data transfers to third parties require legal grounds, and data processing must meet security and confidentiality requirements. The Tax Administration maintains safeguards for accuracy, minimization, and appropriate retention of verotustiedon.

Public access to verotustiedon is limited to protect individual privacy. While aggregated statistics and publicly releasable summaries may be published by the tax authorities, personal tax data is generally confidential. The term appears in contexts such as verotustiedon luovuttaminen (disclosure of tax information) and in communications about tax data processing, pre-filled tax forms, and related administrative procedures.
