Example of tax registration in a foreign country

For example, enterprise ABC has locations in Sweden, Denmark, and the UK. The company consists of two legal entities:

  • Denmark

    This legal entity contains only the Denmark location

  • United Kingdom (UK)

    This legal entity contains the locations in Sweden and the UK.

The locations in Denmark and Sweden both perform service activities in Finland which are subject to taxation in Finland.

In Finland, the company requires two tax numbers and must submit the various tax reports twice:

  • For the legal entity in the UK
  • For the legal entity in Denmark

You can use the following multicompany structure for enterprise ABC.

  • Company 100 of type Beides represents the legal entity in the UK
  • Company 110 of type Kaufmännisch represents the legal entity in Sweden
  • Company 400 of type Beides represents the legal entity in Denmark

  • For the tax registration in Finland:

    • Company 120 of type Kaufmännisch for transactions owned by the locations in the UK and Sweden
    • Company 410 of type Kaufmännisch for transactions owned by the location in Denmark

Note that companies F120 and F410 are not linked to other departments through enterprise units.
