Finland’s 2026 VAT regime includes a new reduced rate of 13.5% for foodstuffs, animal feed and certain agricultural products, effective January 2026. Finnish businesses must register for VAT when turnover exceeds €15,000, while non‑resident firms must register on any taxable sales with no threshold. EU B2C distance sellers face a €10,000 cross‑border sales threshold that triggers Finnish VAT registration or OSS use, and the reverse charge mechanism allows foreign suppliers to avoid registration if all sales are B2B reverse charge.

Finland’s Parliament approved a bill on 28 November 2025 that introduces a 13.5% VAT rate on specified services, goods, and imports of collectibles and antiques. The new rate and related provisions take effect on 20 December 2025, covering all tax obligations from that date, including intra‑community acquisitions. The legislation will enter into force on the same day.
