Payers can request transcripts and records of the data they have reported to the Incomes Register

You can check the data you have reported by requesting a transcript or record. It includes all the data you have submitted through all reporting channels during a specific time range.

Place your subscription in the e-service or technical interface

Each transcript or record represents the situation at the time when it was generated.

New and corrected reports are not directly available in the transcript database, as data is usually updated there every hour. For example, you can submit reports in the morning and request a transcript in the afternoon.

If your organisation has submitted data to the Incomes Register using a suborganisation identifier, you can limit the subscription by entering the suborganisation identifier. When you place a subscription in the e-service, the records you can request depend on your role and authorisation. When making the request, you can also select the language in which the transcript is generated (Finnish, Swedish or English).

Read the instructions for use: New subscription (e-service)

Download transcripts from the e-service

In the e-service, you can monitor the progress of your subscription and download transcripts once they have been completed. If you request XML records, you can retrieve them through the API.

Transcripts are summaries in PDF or CSV format. If you want to process data in a spreadsheet program (such as Excel), request a transcript in CSV format.

If you use an API, you can also request certain data as an XML record (record 312).
