As of July 2026, Finland operates with a standard rate of 25.5% and two reduced rates, 13.5% and 10%. In this article, Leinonen Finland explains the current VAT structure, how we got here, and how to apply the correct rate when a transaction spans a rate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Current VAT Rates in Finland?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>25.5% \u2013 the general (standard) rate, applying to most goods and services, including electronics, clothing, and most professional services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>13.5% \u2013 a broad reduced rate, applying to goods and services such as food and groceries, restaurant and catering services, books (printed and electronic), pharmaceuticals, passenger transport, accommodation, and admission to cultural, sporting, and entertainment events.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10% \u2013 a narrow reduced rate, now applying mainly to newspapers and magazines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>0% \u2013 applies to exports outside the EU, most intra-EU supplies to VAT-registered buyers, and a small number of other specified transactions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Did We Get Here? A Timeline of Recent Finland VAT Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">September 2024: The Standard Rate Rose From 24% to 25.5%<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help stabilise public finances, Finland raised its general VAT rate from 24% to 25.5% on 1 September 2024. This increase only affected goods and services previously taxed at the 24% rate; anything sold under a reduced VAT rate was unaffected at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">January 2025: Many Goods and Services Moved From 10% to 14%<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 1 January 2025, most goods and services that had previously been taxed at 10% moved to a wider 14% reduced rate. This included passenger transport, hotel and other accommodation, books, and admission to cultural and sporting events. Newspapers, magazines, and public broadcasting services remained the main exceptions still taxed at 10%. At the same time, sanitary protection products and baby nappies moved from the general rate to the reduced rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">January 2026: The Reduced Rate Was Lowered From 14% to 13.5%<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most recently, from 1 January 2026, the 14% reduced rate was lowered to 13.5%. This rate applies to the same broad set of goods and services as before, including food, restaurant and catering services, books, accommodation, passenger transport, and cultural and sporting activities. Public broadcasting services also moved into this 13.5% band, meaning the 10% rate is now largely limited to newspapers and magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general 25.5% rate was not affected by this change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Further Change Expected for Reduced-Rate Goods and Services?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finland&#8217;s VAT rates have shifted more than once in a short period, and businesses should expect that further adjustments remain possible as part of future budget decisions. Leinonen Finland monitors Finnish tax policy closely and will update this article if the rate structure changes again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Know Which VAT Rate to Apply When a Rate Changes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whenever Finland changes a VAT rate, the same underlying principles are used to decide which rate applies to a given transaction. These principles remain relevant for any future rate change, not only the one described above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Goods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The VAT rate is generally determined by the date of delivery, not the date of payment. If goods were delivered before a rate change took effect, the old rate applies; if delivered afterward, the new rate applies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instalment Contracts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an instalment contract (or hire-purchase arrangement), where a buyer pays in several smaller amounts over time, the date of delivery of the item to the buyer still determines the correct VAT rate, exactly as with a normal sale of goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The VAT rate applicable when a service was actually provided should be used, even if payment is made later. If a service began before a rate change but was only completed afterward, the new rate applies to the whole service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advance Payments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a buyer has paid in full for a service before a VAT rate change takes effect, the old rate applies to that payment. A service is considered &#8220;paid&#8221; once the funds have been received by, and are available to, the seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Goods or Services Provided on a Continuous Basis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For goods or services paid for based on the passing of time, such as rental contracts, the rate applicable to a payment period is determined by the last day of that period. This is different from paying for a single good or construction service in instalments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example: Rental Properties<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a rental contract runs from 1 June to 31 May the following year, and a rate change took effect part-way through that period, the new rate applies to the whole period, because the final day of the contract falls after the change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What if Rent Was Paid Upfront?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the tenant paid the full amount for the whole term before the rate change took effect, the old rate applies to that payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What About Rent Charged Monthly?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where rent is charged month by month and the tenant has no obligation to stay for a longer fixed period, each month is treated as its own payment period. Rent for a month before the change is taxed at the old rate, and rent for a month after the change is taxed at the new rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Finland VAT Rate Changes Affect Businesses Buying Goods and Services?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buying Goods from an EU Country<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For intra-community acquisitions, the correct reporting month is usually the month after the goods were delivered to you. The rate that applies is the one in force during that reporting month. The main exception is when the final invoice is dated within the month the goods were delivered; in that case, the acquisition should be reported within that same month. The reporting month stays the same even if part of the price was paid in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Purchasing Services from a Foreign Business<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across the EU, the reverse charge mechanism means the buyer, not the seller, accounts for VAT on certain cross-border services. In Finland, reverse charges also apply to some other services outside the general VAT provision. As a Finnish buyer liable for a reverse charge, the rate that applies is the one in force on the date the service was provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buying Imported Goods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For goods imported into Finland, VAT liability arises on the date customs acknowledges receipt of the import declaration, and the rate in force on that date applies. The month for reporting import VAT to the Tax Administration is the month in which customs issued its decision on customs clearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Receiving an Import into Mainland Finland from \u00c5land<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The applicable rate is determined by the date of the decision on the first customs clearance of the goods, and this should be reported for the tax period in which that decision was issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions About Finland VAT in 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is the Standard VAT Rate in Finland in 2026?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standard VAT rate in Finland is 25.5%, unchanged since September 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is the Reduced VAT Rate in Finland?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main reduced VAT rate is 13.5%, lowered from 14% on 1 January 2026. It covers items such as food, restaurant and catering services, books, accommodation, passenger transport, and cultural and sporting activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is There Still a 10% VAT Rate in Finland?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, but its scope is now narrow. The 10% rate mainly applies to newspapers and magazines, following the move of most other former 10% items to the 14% (now 13.5%) rate in January 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Does a Business Need to Register for VAT in Finland?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VAT registration becomes mandatory once a business&#8217;s annual turnover exceeds \u20ac20,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Master VAT in Finland With Leinonen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our experts in tax, accounting, and payroll have supported businesses across northern, central, and eastern Europe for more than 37 years, with particular strength in advising foreign-owned enterprises. <a href=\"https:\/\/leinonen.eu\/fin\/contacts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arrange a consultation<\/a> today to find out why Leinonen tailored services are trusted by long-term clients across Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Value Added Tax (VAT) in Finland has changed several times over the past two years, and business owners are often unsure which rate currently applies to their goods or services.
