Trade Register filings to be submitted electronically in future – one form of business exempt
From the beginning of 2026, notifications and applications to the Trade Register must be submitted electronically.
From 1 Jan. 2026, all company forms except sole traders must submit notifications and applications to the Trade Register electronically.
Mandatory electronic filing applies, among other things, to company registrations, change and cessation notifications, applications and financial statements.
The Patent and Registration Office (PRH) says mandatory electronic filing is based on amendments to the Trade Register Act and the Business Information Act.
Electronic filing
Electronic filing channels include the Business Information System (YTJ) service and online forms.
Through the YTJ service, it is possible to:
- establish a company (the most common forms of business),
- submit financial statements to the Trade Register,
- notify the most common changes concerning a company to the Trade Register and the registers of the Tax Administration.
If a notification or application cannot be submitted via the YTJ service, a Y form or application, together with its attachments, can be submitted to PRH using an online form. PRH has previously announced that updated filing instructions will be published on the prh.fi and ytj.fi websites on 1 Jan. 2026.
