The Finnish Tax Administration has announced that Monday is the final day to submit income and deduction information for the year 2025 via the OmaVero portal. By submitting this information by February 23, taxpayers can have their data pre-filled on their tax returns, which is likely to lead to a faster processing of their taxes. Taxpayers can pre-report various deductions such as travel expenses, household deductions, work-related housing deductions, and rental income. However, information regarding wages, pensions, and benefits is sourced directly from the payers and cannot be declared in advance.

In addition to submitting the information, it is crucial for taxpayers to verify the accuracy of their data on the pre-filled tax returns that will be sent to them via OmaVero or through postal mail between March and April. Tax Administration official Päivi Ylitalo emphasized the importance of checking these details to ensure that everything is correct. This verification process is essential to avoid discrepancies that could delay tax refunds.

Moreover, taxpayers are reminded to check their bank account details, as any potential tax refunds will be deposited directly into the account registered with the Tax Administration. It is advisable to update the bank account number if changes have occurred, ensuring seamless processing of refunds and prompt resolution of any tax-related issues.
