VAT rate in Finland rises on Sep 1st; our prices remain the same for September
/in News Posts in English /by mikkoThe general VAT rate in Finland will rise from 24 percent to 25.5 percent on September 1, 2024. The prices mentioned on this website for services delivered in Finland include this then-current VAT, unless otherwise specifically stated.
During September 2024, we will keep all previous prices unchanged for new customers/agreements, so that from September 1, 2024, instead of the previous 24%, the same tax-inclusive price will be considered to include 25.5% VAT. After the system changes and pricing calculations that will be made throughout September, end-customer prices can be expected to rise in proportion to the increase in VAT. In other words, September is actually a sale month!
