Doing business in Finland usually means that your activities become subject to Finnish taxes in at least some extent.

MK-Law regularly advices its clients in tax questions related to different types of contracts and transactions. The questions may be related VAT or corporate income tax or to other taxes such as property transfer tax. We assist with structuring the transaction in such manner that the tax burden is as light as possible, notwithstanding whether you are concluding a sales contract or acquiring a local business. We also assist with determining whether a particular activity will result in a tax presence in Finland as well as with filing for VAT and other tax registrations.

Have us take a look at your contract or other transaction to ensure that you do not pay any unnecessary taxes.  You are also welcome to contact us should you need any other tax help. Previously we have, among other things:
