Incomes Register
LocalTapiola gets the data needed for the purpose of workers’ compensation insurance directly from the Incomes Register. However, in claims handling we continue to ask employers for the wage data so as to process claims as quickly as possible. All wage data are reported to the Incomes Register electronically. The Finnish Tax Administration’s website features instructional videos on how to use the Incomes Register and how to save your data.
Workers’ compensation insurance wage data
For the final workers’ compensation insurance premium, we retrieve the wage data from the Incomes Register.
All payers must primarily report data to the Incomes Register using a Finnish business ID or personal identity code.
If a payer does not have a client identifier issued in Finland, the data are to be reported under a foreign identifier. In this case specifying identification and contact data, such as name and address, must be provided. If a payer has a Finnish and a foreign identifier, both identifiers are to be reported.
If wages have been reported to the Incomes Register under a foreign company code or other codes (VAT identifier (VAT), GIIN identifier, tax identifier (TIN), trade register code, foreign personal identity code, other identifier), please email the payroll totals by occupation class, the policyholder’s name, code, and country code to tulorekisteripalkat(a)lahitapiola.fi.
