In stakeholder testing, you can test e-service and the interoperability of your software with a specific technical interface.
The interface means an electronic connection built between different systems and the Incomes Register.
The Incomes Registers offers several technical interface for data submitters and users. The data format of the Incomes Register’s technical interfaces is XML, and schemas are in English.
Software developers need to ensure that the built service corresponds to the Incomes Register’s technical documentation and schedule requirements. Consider the following:
Read all the recommendations for using the interface in the content descriptions submitting data to the Incomes Register and distribution of data from the Incomes Register.
You can report data using the real-time or deferred Web Service interface, or the SFTP interface.
In the real-time WS interface, reports are submitted to the Incomes Register one at a time. The interface is intended for situations where there are only a few reports and where processing feedback is required immediately.
If a large number of reports need to be submitted to the Incomes Register at the same time, the deferred Web Service interface or the SFTP interface should be used. Using these interfaces, several reports can be submitted through a single record.
Payers, or data providers, need to submit an application for using the technical interface in the e-service of the Tax Administration’s certificate service.
The data saved in the Incomes Register can only be used by the authorities and other parties that have a statutory right to use them.
The Incomes Register’s data can be distributed using the SFTP interface and the real-time Web Service interface.
Data users need to submit an application for using the technical interface by filling in a report by the Incomes Register data user for data permission purposes. The provision of the data permission starts the first certificate request. When their data permission is in effect, organisations can request more certificates to the interface in the e-service of the Tax Administration’s certificate service.
