Finland Employer Register 2026
Guide to regular vs casual employer status, registration thresholds, no-wages reporting and deregistration.
Short answer
Regular employers must register in the Employer Register. Vero considers a company regular if it regularly pays wages to two or more employees; one regular employee plus temporary employees; or at least six employees simultaneously even where the jobs are short-term. A casual employer may not need registration in limited cases, but wages paid must still be reported to the Incomes Register.
1. Regular-employer criteria
Checklist
- Regularly 2+ employees
- 1 regular + temporary employees
- At least 6 employees simultaneously
2. Casual employer
A company may be casual where it has only one regular employee or one to five employees whose employment does not last the full calendar year. Wage-reporting duties still apply.
3. Deregistration
If wage payments stop or the company becomes only a casual employer, deregistration should be reported through MyTax/YTJ. Obligations continue up to the end date.
Common questions about this topic
