Publication date 1.3.2023 10.51
Press release

Suomi.fi Messages can now be activated in MyTax. When you activate Suomi.fi Messages at the latest on 16 March, you will be notified to your email already this spring as soon as your pre-filled tax return is in MyTax. In addition, you will also receive messages from other authorities electronically instead of paper mail. 

Once you have activated Suomi.fi Messages, tax returns, letters and decisions will no longer arrive on paper by mail to your home – everything can always be found in MyTax.   

Do a small eco-act – activate Suomi.fi Messages 

In addition to the Tax Administration, in the future you will receive Suomi.fi Messages electronically for all authorities and municipalities that use Suomi.fi Messages in their own services. You can also receive the Messages to the Suomi.fi application if you have downloaded it to your phone.

You can check Suomi.fi for all organisations and services, which send Suomi.fi Messages. The aim is that more and more authorities would send their messages through Suomi.fi Messages. 

The use of the Messages service is thus a small and easy eco-act. This saves the environment from the loading caused by printing and transporting paper mail. 

New: Activate Suomi.fi Messages through MyTax 

You can activate Suomi.fi Messages by identifying yourself in Suomi.fi Messages and selecting from the settings an electronic communication method with the authorities. If you want to convert your communication method to paper mail, you can easily do so by changing the settings.

Now you can also activate the Messages service through My Tax on the Communications tab. For more detailed instructions, see vero.fi and MyTax.

Suomi.fi Web Service is provided by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. The activation of Suomi.fi Messages through MyTax is the result of co-development by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency and the Tax Administration and an example of cooperation between the authorities aimed at facilitating clients' activities and promoting e-services.
