New large worksite – what should employees and companies take into account?
On this page, you can find instructions related to tax matters that should be taken into account when a large worksite starts operating in Finland. The instructions are presented from the points of view of employees and companies. In this context, the term “worksite” refers to construction sites and shipyards.
Report a new worksite to the Finnish Tax Administration for stakeholder cooperation
If you are the main contractor, employer exercising primary control or developer, you can notify the Finnish Tax Administration of the start of a new construction site or shipyard. Once we have received the notification, we will contact you to assess the need for cooperation. Cooperation may mean regular communication, guidance and advice, organising the tax matters of workers coming to the worksite from abroad, organising the employer’s statutory obligations, including reporting, or combating the shadow economy.
