If you do business with foreign companies or purchase goods from within the EU, you will often be asked for your VAT number. Finland does not have a separate VAT number; instead, it is a modified version of your business ID.
The formula is simple:
FI + business ID without hyphen = VAT number
Example:
Your business ID: 1234567-8
Your VAT number: FI12345678
You can use this number as soon as your company is registered for VAT. Your customers can check the validity of the number in the EU VIES database.
