How this is calculated

Choose whether to add Finnish VAT (arvonlisavero, ALV) to a net amount or remove it from a VAT-inclusive price.
To add VAT: multiply the net by 1.255 for the 25.5% standard rate, 1.135 for the 13.5% reduced rate, or 1.10 for the 10% reduced rate.
To remove VAT: divide the VAT-inclusive price by the same multiplier (1.255, 1.135, or 1.10).

FAQ

What are Finland's VAT rates in 2026?

Why did the standard VAT rate increase?

Finland raised the standard VAT rate from 24% to 25.5% on 1 September 2024 as part of a fiscal consolidation package. The two reduced rates also rose by 1.5 percentage points at the same time.

When must a business register for VAT in Finland?

A business must register for VAT when its annual turnover exceeds EUR 15 000. Voluntary registration below the threshold is also possible. Check the current rules with the Finnish Tax Administration (Vero.fi).
