13 Account of shareholder loans and distribution of earned and capital income for dividends ‒ Instructions

Use this form to report information on a shareholder loan taken out or paid back during the tax year. However, you should first check whether the information is already included in the pre-completed tax return. If the information on shareholder loans is correct in the tax return, you do not need to take any action.

A shareholder loan is part of your taxable capital income if you, alone or with a family member, own at least 10% of the shares in the company that granted the loan, or have a corresponding share of the company’s total votes.

Information on the basis of which dividend income from non-listed companies is divided into earned income and capital income is also reported on this form. Report this information, that is, fill in section 4 of the form, if

  • you are a majority shareholder (see section 4.5 of the instructions) and you have been using a residential property included in the assets of the company distributing a dividend or have held a shareholder loan by the company
  • you are an owner-shareholder (see section 4.4 of the instructions) and you have held a shareholder loan by the company.

The information can be provided via MyTax or on a paper form. The form and further information are available on the Forms page. The return address is marked on the first page of the form.

This form can also be used to submit a claim for adjustment after the tax assessment. Fill in a claim for adjustment and attach this form to the claim. A claim for adjustment can also be submitted in MyTax.

If you are making corrections to previously provided information or are claiming an adjustment, fill in all of the boxes in the section of the form (2, 3 or 4) to which you are making changes.
