Doing business in Finland - VAT 2007

With effect as of June 1, 1994 Finland adopted the value-added tax, replacing the partly cumulative turnover tax. Later the Finnish VAT legislation has been amended to conform with the EU VAT rules.

There are still some differences between the VAT provisions of the Member States of the EU, even though the Member States should have harmonised their VAT systems with the EU VAT rules.
