Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
You need a finished invoice that a Finnish customer, accountant, or tax reviewer can read without reconstructing the sale. The document should identify both parties, describe the goods or services, show dates clearly, and separate the taxable base from VAT. A unique sequential invoice number also matters because it ties the invoice to your bookkeeping records and prevents duplicate or missing document references.
For a service invoice, a practical line might list consulting services for April, quantity of 12 hours, unit price of €90 excluding VAT, taxable base of €1,080, VAT rate of 25.5%, and VAT payable of €275.40. Payment terms or a due date help the client pay on time, but Finnish VAT guidance does not list them among the mandatory VAT invoice information.
A Finnish VAT invoice must include the issue date, a unique sequential number, VAT IDs, and the names and addresses of both seller and purchaser. The purchaser's VAT identification number is required where reverse charge or intra-Community supply applies. A Finnish VAT identification number is formed by adding FI before the Business ID and removing the hyphen, so 1234567-8 becomes FI12345678.
The line and tax fields carry the calculation record. The invoice must 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, the VAT base per rate, unit price excluding VAT, discounts or rebates, the VAT rate, and VAT payable. These fields let the Finnish Tax Administration trace the VAT amount from the invoice total back to each taxable supply.
Finland's general VAT rate is 25.5% and applies to most goods and services. Reduced rates of 13.5% and 10% apply to specified categories. The 13.5% rate covers categories such as groceries, restaurant services, books, pharmaceuticals, passenger transport, accommodation, and many event admissions. The 10% rate applies to newspapers and magazines. VAT registration is generally required once turnover exceeds €20,000 in a calendar year.
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, VAT payable must also be shown in euros with two decimals. Certain procuring entities must be able to receive European-standard e-invoices, and procuring entities and business operators may demand those e-invoices under Finland's electronic invoicing law.
A one-off invoice works when you have a single client, a clear service description, and the VAT rate already confirmed. It also fits small corrections, deposits, or short projects where you can enter every line manually and keep the supporting records outside the invoice. The risk starts when time entries, expenses, discounts, and client-specific terms live in separate spreadsheets or message threads.
A managed workflow becomes useful when tracked billable time, rates, expenses, and invoice status need to stay connected. Everhour Reporting can group and filter time, costs, clients, projects, billable amounts, invoice status, and other columns before billing review. That gives the person preparing Finnish invoices a cleaner handoff from recorded work to invoice-ready totals, while the invoice itself still needs the correct Finnish VAT fields and rates.

Use 25.5% for most goods and services in Finland unless the supply falls into a reduced-rate category. The 13.5% 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. Assign the rate by supply type, not by customer preference.
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 the threshold may register voluntarily in some cases. Registration status controls whether VAT belongs on the invoice, so confirm it before adding a VAT line.
Required VAT information may be written on the invoice in any language. The Finnish Tax Administration may request a translation during a tax audit or control procedure. Use clear labels for buyer details, seller details, supply description, VAT base, VAT rate, and VAT payable so the invoice remains understandable to the client and bookkeeper.
For Finnish domestic sales, VAT payable must be shown with two decimals in euros. An invoice can use another transaction currency, but the VAT payable must also be entered in euros. This prevents exchange-rate confusion when the invoice moves into Finnish VAT records.
Payment terms or a due date are commercial payment details, not mandatory VAT invoice information under the listed Finnish VAT invoice guidance. They still belong on most invoices because they tell the buyer when to pay, reduce follow-up messages, and support collection if the payment becomes late.
Everhour Reporting lets admins build reports with 45+ columns, filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. A billing reviewer can group time by client, project, task, member, billable amount, invoice status, or cost before preparing invoice lines.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts uninvoiced billable time and expenses into invoices, calculates amounts from rates, and excludes non-billable work. Invoice data can be grouped by project, task, person, date, or other available breakdowns before export to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks.
Use Everhour reports to review billable work, costs, invoice status, and project details before client billing, so Finnish invoices start from organized records and traceable Everhour data.
