The general VAT rate will rise to 25.5% on 1 September 2024

From 1 September 2024, the general VAT will rise from 24% to 25.5%. This will affect the fees for the PRH’s products and services that currently use the 24% VAT rate.

For example, the new VAT rate will apply to the following:

• Fees for the information services of the Finnish Trade Register, Register of Associations and Register of Foundations
• Fees for trademarks with a reputation and for preliminary examinations of trademarks and designs
• LEI application fees and annual fees for LEI codes
• Patent search services

If the products are delivered on or before 31 August 2024, the VAT rate will be 24% even if the buyer pays for the products later.

Most of our services and products have no VAT. For example, the change in the VAT rate will not affect the handling fees for notifications filed with the Finnish Trade Register or the fees for trademark and patent applications.
