How to file income from field rental in MyTax

Income from field rental is agricultural income. If you have rented out a field you own, you must report the rental income on the tax return for agriculture.

If the field is owned by an estate with a Business ID or by a partnership, for example, file the tax return for agriculture in its name. In that case, you will need a Suomi.fi authorisation for e-filing.
