The tax account online service is a web service through which you can give your seasonal tax returns and in which you can inspect the taxes declared and paid to your tax account. In the tax account online service you can also see your tax account statement. These tax account statements remain in the service for three years. Even if you have authorized an accounting company to use your tax account on your behalf through power of attorney (Katso identification), it is good to keep yourself up-to-date on what is going on in your account. The tax account service is free of charge and is open around the clock.

A user using the tax account on behalf of a company can log into the account using the Katso identification.
