Update on Tax Cards for 2026 in Finland 🇫🇮

2025-12-18 11:14 Work Documents Taxes
Good news! All tax cards for the year 2026 are now available in OmaVero, the Tax Administration’s online service. This means that you can review and update your tax card ahead of the new tax year.
! Your 2026 tax card comes into force on January 1, 2026. This is now the second year in a row that the new tax card is active from the very start of the year.

🔎 What should you check?

Make sure the income ceiling on your tax card matches your expected total income for 2026.
Your income estimate covers the full calendar year (Jan–Dec) and should include things like holiday pay if you expect to receive it.
The tax percentage shown on your card is based on your 2024 income and deductions. If you updated your tax card in 2025 (a “change tax card”), those figures are used as the basis instead.

🔎 Can you change your tax card?

Yes! If your situation changes (for example, if your income increases) you can adjust your tax card anytime during the year in OmaVero.

🔎 Paper Tax Cards:

If you don’t use Suomi.fi messages, your tax card will be mailed to you by December 20 at the latest. But with OmaVero, you get it straight online, we recommend this way, it's faster and easier.
Employers and other payers usually receive updated tax card data automatically from the Tax Administration’s system. If your employer needs the card directly from you (but it's rare), ask them how they prefer to receive it.
