How file financial statements with the Finnish Trade Register using a paper form

The law requires companies to file their financial statements with the Finnish Trade Register. Companies must file their financial statements for each financial period, even if the companies are not active. Do not file unapproved financial statements with the Trade Register.

Please note that the financial period in the financial statements must be the same as the financial period registered for the company in the Trade Register.
