Employer's separate report (TULOR 6103e)

Use the employer's separate report (TULOR 6103e) to report the employer’s health insurance contribution and related deductions or the regular employer’s ‘No wages payable’ data for the reporting month.

If you are a regular employer registered in the Finnish Tax Administration’s employer register, submit a report every month. If you are not registered with the employer register, submit a report for the months for which you have paid wages.

Report earnings payment data for every employee and every payment separately with form 6101 or 6104.

Use the form for the correct year

Select the form for the correct year according to the reporting month. For example, if the reporting period is in 2022, use the form for 2022. If the reporting period was earlier or you correct such a report, use the form for the year in question.  It is important that you use the form for the correct year because forms differ from one year to the next.

The forms and their filling instructions are available in Finnish, Swedish and English. Instructions for filling in the form for 2021 are available in Sami:  Bargoaddi sierraalmmuhus, deavdinráva 2021.

Instructions for filling in the employer's separate report  (TULOR6103e)

These filling instructions apply to filling in and correcting data on the employer’s separate report (TULOR 6103e). The filling instructions include separate descriptions for any differences between the forms and instructions for different years. For example, there may be differences in the following sections:

  • payer details: ‘Household’ and ‘Pool of household employers’.

General information on submitting the employer’s separate report

 As a rule, Incomes Register reports must be submitted electronically. If electronic reporting is not possible, you may submit a report on a paper form in special circumstances.

Report earnings payment data to the Incomes Register as of 1 January 2019

As of 2019, employers and other payers must report the wages paid and other payments to the Incomes Register on an earnings payment report. As of 2019, the employer's health insurance contribution and the deductions made from it as well as the No wages payable data item are reported to the Incomes Register on an employer's separate report.

All pages of the form must be returned even if there are some pages with no data to be submitted. If a report has been filled in incorrectly or data is missing, the report will be rejected. A rejected report is not saved in the Incomes Register.

Only one employer’s separate report per month

The employer may only submit one employer’s separate report for each month, despite the wages or other payments being handled by several payroll service providers. For example, if the payroll services related to hourly paid workers are handled by Firm A and the payroll services related to office workers by Firm B, the employer submits a single employer's separate report in which all the health insurance contributions and any deductions from them are reported based on the combined total amount of the wages paid in the month in question.

Deadline for reporting

If the employer's separate report is submitted on paper, it must be submitted at the latest on the eight day of the month following the payment date. If the deadline for submitting the report falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday, the deadline moves to the next banking day.  If the employer’s separate report is submitted late, the Tax Administration may impose a late filing penalty.

Detailed guidance

For more detailed information on different reporting situations, please read the following instructions:

Enter the following information on the employer’s separate report (TULOR 6103e)

Report's identifying information

Fill in the report’s identifying information in the top section of every page. The identifying information must be the same on all pages of the form. The identifying information includes:

  • Type of action
  • Reporting date
  • Reporting month and year
  • Payer’s report reference.

Type of action

Tick the appropriate box based on whether you are submitting a new earnings payment report, correcting a previous report or entirely cancelling a previous report. You can select only one type of action. The information is mandatory.

  • Tick the box for New report if you are submitting the employer's separate report for the first time for the reporting period in question (i.e., for a specific payment month or payment year). If the report is rejected and you must resubmit the data, this constitutes a new report.
  • A replacement report is submitted when an earlier report needs to be corrected. All data must be resubmitted on a replacement report, i.e. it must contain the data that was correct on the original report in addition to new and changed data. You must specify the report reference of the earlier report on the replacement report.
  • Select Report cancellation when entirely cancelling a report submitted earlier. When cancelling a report, in addition to specifying the type of action, you only need to specify the payer identifier and the report reference of the earlier report so that the correct report is cancelled. The recommendation is not to cancel a report until a new report can be submitted.
    • As a rule, corrections to the Incomes Register are made using replacement reports, but there are also situations in which the replacement procedure cannot be applied. Instead of the replacement procedure, the report submitted previously must first be cancelled and then a new report must be submitted that contains the correct information. Such situations include:
      • correction of the reporting period (i.e., payment month or payment year)
      • correction of the payer's customer identifier
      • correction of the pension policy number
      • correction of the occupational accident insurance company identifier or policy number.

Reporting date

Enter as the reporting date of the employer’s separate report its date of submission in the format ddmmyyyy. For example, the reporting date of a report submitted on 3 May 2022 would be 03052022. This information is mandatory.

Reporting month and year

Enter the calendar month and year for which the information in the employer's separate report is reported. Enter the month in numbers from 1 to 12 and the year in four digits. The information is mandatory.

Payer’s report reference

The payer’s report reference uniquely identifies the employer’s separate reports submitted by the payer. If you generate the report reference yourself, make sure that a unique report reference is entered on all new reports you submit. If you do not fill in this field, the Incomes Register will generate the payer’s report reference for you. In such a case, the report reference will be sent to the payer in a letter to the address entered for the payer in the Population Information System or the Business Information System.

If you are submitting a new report and the payer does not have an identifier, do not enter the report reference but leave the field blank instead.

It is important to have a report reference because the same reference must be used when there are errors in the report and it needs to be corrected. Without the report reference, the Incomes Register will not be able to match the replacement report or report cancellation to the report that needs to be corrected. For this reason, the payer’s report reference is mandatory information if you are correcting or cancelling an earlier report.

The length of the report reference may be a maximum of 40 characters. It may contain both letters and numbers, but no spaces. The allowed characters are the numerals 0–9, the letters a–z and A–Z, and the special characters ‘_’ and ‘-’. Please note that the letters å, ä and ö are not allowed.

Example of how to form a payer’s report reference: A report reference for an employer’s separate report concerning February 2022 could be ‘February2022’.

A pool of household employers is formed when several households hire together, for example, a cleaner or a nanny under a single employment contract. The households in the pool are jointly responsible for the employer obligations related to the employee in question.

If you report data on behalf of a pool of household employers, tick both sections: ‘Household’ and ‘Pool of household employers’.

“No wages payable” data is submitted only when the employer has not made any payments whatsoever during the month in question.
