Use this page when you need a Finnish invoice that carries the commercial details and VAT information expected by customers, accountants, and the Finnish Tax Administration. VAT-liable sellers need more than a total due. The invoice must identify both parties, describe the goods or services, use a unique sequential number, and show the VAT base, VAT rate, and VAT payable.
The app workflow suits freelancers, agencies, consultants, and small companies that invoice Finnish domestic customers or cross-border business buyers. It keeps the immediate job focused: enter the seller, buyer, line items, VAT treatment, issue date, and payment details, then produce a clear invoice record. The payment term still matters for cash collection, although payment terms or a due date are commercial details rather than mandatory VAT invoice fields.
A Finnish VAT invoice must include the issue date, a unique sequential number, VAT IDs, names, and addresses. The seller's VAT identification number belongs on the invoice. The purchaser's VAT identification number is required where reverse charge or intra-Community supply applies. A Finnish VAT identification number uses FI plus the Business ID without the hyphen, so 1234567-8 becomes FI12345678.
Line items need enough detail to support the tax calculation. State the quantity and nature of goods or the extent and nature of services, the supply or prepayment date if different from the issue date, unit price excluding VAT, discounts or rebates, VAT base per rate, VAT rate, and VAT payable. Finland's general VAT rate is 25.5%, with reduced rates of 13.5% and 10% for listed categories.
The most common Finland-specific mistake is treating VAT as a single summary number when the invoice includes lines taxed at different rates. Separate the taxable base by VAT rate, then show the VAT payable for each rate and the total. VAT-liable sellers should also keep invoice numbers sequential, because duplicate or skipped numbering creates avoidable accounting review work.
Currency and language rules need the same discipline. Required VAT information may be written in any language, but the Finnish Tax Administration may request a translation during a tax audit or control procedure. For Finnish domestic sales invoiced in another currency, the VAT payable must also be entered in euros with two decimals. Public-sector and procurement customers may also demand European-standard e-invoices under Finland's electronic invoicing law.
A one-off invoice app is enough when you need a single Finnish invoice, a clean PDF, or a quick record for a small customer job. It works best when the billable amount is already known, the VAT rate is clear, and the customer does not need detailed time, expense, or project backup. Keep the generated invoice with the source records that support each line.
A managed workflow becomes better once time, rates, approvals, and invoices repeat every month. Everhour separates internal cost rates from client-facing billable rates, supports per-person defaults and per-project overrides, and preserves dated rate history. That matters when Finnish invoices need to reflect billable project work priced by project, member, or task without rebuilding totals from spreadsheets.

A Finnish VAT invoice needs the issue date, unique sequential number, seller VAT ID, required buyer details, names and addresses, supply details, taxable base, VAT rate, and VAT payable. The purchaser's VAT identification number is required where reverse charge or intra-Community supply applies. The invoice should also show unit price excluding VAT and any discounts or rebates.
A company selling goods or services in business is generally liable to register for VAT and pay VAT when turnover exceeds €20,000 in a calendar year. Businesses below that threshold may register voluntarily in some cases. The registration decision changes invoice content because VAT-liable sellers must show the correct VAT details.
Finland's general VAT rate is 25.5% and applies to most goods and services. The 13.5% reduced rate applies to categories such as groceries, restaurant services, books, pharmaceuticals, passenger transport, accommodation, and many event admissions. The 10% rate applies to newspapers and magazines. Mixed-rate invoices should separate the VAT base by rate.
Required VAT information may be written on a Finnish invoice in any language. The Finnish Tax Administration may request a translation during a tax audit or control procedure, so the invoice should still use clear labels and unambiguous line descriptions. For Finnish domestic sales, VAT payable must be shown in euros.
Payment terms or a due date are not listed among the mandatory VAT invoice information in section 209e guidance. They remain important commercial details because they tell the customer when to pay, which bank details to use, and which invoice number to reference. Include them for collection clarity even though they are not VAT-required fields.
Everhour separates cost and billable rates, then lets teams set default per-person rates and per-project overrides. Rate changes can be dated, so older reports keep their original calculations while new Finnish invoice work uses the current client-facing rate by project, member, or task.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts uninvoiced billable time and expenses into client invoices, calculates amounts from rates and billable expenses, and excludes non-billable work. Invoice lines can be grouped by project, task, person, date, or another available breakdown before export to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks.
Use Everhour to keep rates, billable time, and project work connected before invoicing, then generate client-ready invoices from approved records and accurate billable totals.
