How to request a tax card in MyTax only for pension

  1. Go to Tax card and prepayments 2024 on MyTax home page and click Tax cards and prepayments.
  2. Click the Request a new tax card button.
  3. Click the Select the complete tax card request button.
  4. The request has 6 stages. Enter new data or changed data when you proceed through the different stages.

  • Basic details

    Check that the information is correct.

  • Pre-completed income and deductions

    Check the income recorded in MyTax, including your wage income, unemployment allowance, etc. Make sure that your holiday pay is included in the wage income totals.

    Please note that if you enter any changes to the data on wages, MyTax will not only create a tax card for pension, but also a revised tax card for wages.

  • Other income

    • Go to the Pensions section and select Yes.
    • Click Add new pension. If you receive several different pensions, you need to fill in a specification for each one.
    • Select the pension provider’s name from the menu. Select the type of the pension, such as old-age pension. Look up the following on your pension decision and enter the information on the request form:
      • Your pension’s start date (for the end date, enter 31 December of the current year)
      • Whether or not you receive the pension monthly
      • Amount of the pension, euros per month
    • If you are requesting a new tax card part way through the year, also fill in:
      • Your pensions received so far during the year, i.e. since the beginning of January
      • The taxes withheld on them, from January until the current day – in other words, indicate the total amount withheld in the course of the current year (Also fill in any pension you have received for a previous year if it has been paid during the current year.)
    • If you request periodisation of your income tax on the pensions, select Yes. Enter the start and end date of the period, and the amount of pension you have received retroactively within the period or periods concerned.

      You have the right to request that the Tax Administration periodise the income taxes, to make them more even, if you received retroactive pension amounts connected to a prior year, and to 3 months within that year, and the size of the retroactive lump sum was at least €500.

      Click OK to finish.

  • Other deductions

    If, during the current year’s first months, you were employed and received wage income, please check the recorded data, or enter new data as necessary, for your travel expenses for commuting between home and work, for trade-union membership dues or unemployment fund contributions, and for any expenses for the production of income.

  • Delivery method

    Re-check the requested card’s period of validity and the way you want the card delivered. The MyTax system displays a suggested start date of the card’s validity. Compare the date with the pension start date shown on your pension decision letter. The two dates should be the same. The Tax Administration sends your tax card information directly to your pension provider.

  • Preview and send

    Check that the information is correct. Click Edit or Previous to make corrections if necessary.

    You can select Save as unfinished to log out and continue filling in the details later. Data saved as unfinished will be stored for 1 month. The Tax Administration will not process the data before you have submitted it.

    When everything is correct, click Submit. You will receive an acknowledgement of receipt.

    You can always find a copy of your tax card in MyTax
