The tax number of an employee whose tax number has been added to the Ilmoita service will be verified immediately after his or her information has been saved from the tax number register of the construction sector, which is maintained by the Finnish Tax Administration.
If the employee has just been added to the tax number register, it will take around one hour for his or her tax number to appear in the tax number register.
In the case of a foreign employee, who has not used the MyTax service, the tax number might not appear in the tax number register until the following day.
The Inspect the tax numbers button
If the status of the tax number is something other than “Included in the register”, the tax number will not be inspected again automatically, but the user must do this by clicking on the “Inspect the tax numbers” button. Do as follows:
1) Ensure that the employee information is correct and the employee is included in the tax number register
2) Press the Inspect the tax numbers button.
The button must also be used when employees have been added as an Excel import for the inspection to be completed.
