Prepayment register: You can submit a claim for adjustment of a decision according to which the Tax Administration has removed the company or organisation from the prepayment register or decided not to enter it in the register.
Note that you do not need to file a claim for adjustment if the Tax Administration has removed the company or organisation from the register due to negligence. When the company or organisation has remedied the negligence, it can be re-registered. Submit a new registration request to the Tax Administration. Even in the case of repeated negligence, the Tax Administration can re-enter the company in the register within one year from the removal, unless it seems obvious that the negligence will continue.

You cannot claim adjustment to a decision that concerns employer registration.
A company or organisation can file a claim for adjustment within 60 days from receiving the decision. Please read the enclosed “Instructions for appeal” carefully to look up the exact period when claims are accepted.
