Browsing data on tax office workstations
You can browse the public information on tax assessment in almost all Tax Administration offices. Tax office workstations can access public information on regular tax assessment from tax year 2009 onwards and information on changes to tax assessment from tax year 2022 onwards. The workstations are available during the opening hours of each tax office.

Please note that the information accessed on tax office workstations cannot be printed out, copied, emailed, or saved on flash drives or other such devices. However, you can make notes when using the workstation. Because the information accessed is public, you can view it without authentication and your browsing history is not recorded.

Individual taxpayers
In the public information on individual income taxes, public identifying information includes the individual’s name, year of birth, and county. An individual’s county is the county in which the individual’s municipality of domicile was at the end of the year before the tax year.

Non-resident taxpayers, i.e. individuals who are considered to live outside Finland according to the act on income tax (Tuloverolaki 1535/1992), are listed under the county of the Tax Administration unit that conducted the individual’s tax assessment (Uusimaa or Åland Islands).
