Under the Non-Military Service Act (1446/2007), the reimbursement of expenses are not reported to the Incomes Register. These include expenses related to the maintenance of the person liable for non-military service such as food, work clothes and equipment, accommodation and travel allowances, and health care visits.
However, report any other non-taxable payments made by the place of service that are not by nature reimbursements of costs. Use income type 1120 Other benefit and also enter Taxability of benefit: tax-exempt.
Are you reporting benefits for the first time?
Before you can submit benefits paid by your organisation to the Incomes Register, a representative of your organisation must confirm the organisation as the reporter of the benefit payments data. This only needs to be done once.
Make a confirmation only if your organisation pays benefits, pensions or daily allowances for non-military service. Do not make the confirmation just to be on the safe side.
For more detailed information about different reporting situations, read the following instructions:
The ‘Benefits payment data’ section has instructions on reporting benefits and pensions.
