Finland increased its standard VAT rate from 24% to 25.5% in September 2024, making it one of the highest in the EU. The Finnish business ID (Y-tunnus) and VAT number share the same 8-digit number with different prefixes.
The Finland ALV-numero is administered by the national tax authority and validated through the EU VIES system. Before applying any VAT rate or zero-rate exemption to a Finland business customer, validate their VAT registration number first.
