Apply for a tax card (verokortti) at vero. fi or at a local Tax Administration office.
Apply for a tax card (verokortti) at vero.fi or at a local Tax Administration office. You need your Finnish identity code, employer details, and estimated annual income. The card tells your employer what withholding rate to use for your taxes. Without it, your employer must withhold 60% of your salary - so it is very important to get it quickly.
Common mistake
Good to know
You can apply online at vero.fi if you have online banking credentials, or in person at a Vero office. Your employer receives the tax card electronically. If you change jobs, inform your new employer of your tax card - it is linked to your identity number so any employer can use it.
