yritystunnukseen

Yritystunnus is a unique identifier assigned to a business entity in Finland. It is a 7-digit number that is used to identify the business in various official and administrative contexts. The number is assigned by the Finnish Business Register Centre (Virastonumero) and is used for tax purposes, employment, and other official registrations.

The first digit of the yritystunnus indicates the type of business. For example, a number starting with 1 typically indicates a private company, while a number starting with 2 indicates a public company. The remaining six digits are a sequential number assigned by the Business Register Centre.

Yritystunnus is required for all businesses operating in Finland, regardless of their size or industry. It is used to register the business with the Finnish Tax Administration, the Finnish Pensions Insurance Institute, and other relevant authorities. The number is also used for employment purposes, as it is required for registering employees and paying social security contributions.

In addition to the yritystunnus, businesses in Finland may also have a Y-tunnus, which is a 9-digit number used for VAT purposes. The Y-tunnus is assigned by the Finnish Tax Administration and is used to register the business for VAT and to issue VAT invoices.

Yritystunnus is an essential identifier for businesses in Finland, as it is used for a wide range of official and administrative purposes. It is important for businesses to ensure that their yritystunnus is accurate and up-to-date, as failure to do so can result in penalties and other legal consequences.
