Digital financial statements of limited liability companies to the Finnish Trade Register
Limited liability companies can submit their financial statements to the Finnish Trade Register in digital IXBRL format.
Digital financial statements are filed online using IXBRL (Inline eXtensible Business Reporting Language). Financial statements in IXBRL format display the information in a uniform manner according to standards and classifications. This reduces, for example, the risk of essential information being left out of the financial statements.
When to file
File the financial statements with the Finnish Trade Register within eight months from the end of the financial period.
If you file the digital financial statements with the Trade Register by the tax return deadline, you do not have to send the financial statements to the Finnish Tax Administration separately, as the Finnish Tax Administration will automatically receive digital financial statements from the PRH if you have filed them by the deadline.
This procedure will not change the deadline for details filed with the Finnish Tax Administration. If a company files their financial statements with the Trade Register after the tax return deadline, the company may also have to file the financial statements with the Finnish Tax Administration separately. Go to our instructions: Filing financial statements with tax returns.
What does it cost?
Filing is free of charge for eight months from the end of the financial period.
The late filing fee is 100 euros. Go to our instructions: Filing financial statements late.
