Notification of changes – farmers and forest owners

Farmers are agricultural operators. Agricultural operators include self-employed individuals conducting agricultural and forestry operations, spouses conducting such operations together, and estates of deceased people conducting such operations.

Forest owners, or forestry operators, are private individuals, estates or spouses owning forest together.

If changes occur in your agricultural operation, please file a notification of changes immediately so as to make sure your details in the Tax Administration’s VAT register, prepayment register and register of employers are up-to-date.

On the same notification form, you can also register in or file changes to the Trade Register maintained by the Finnish Patent and Registration Office. The Company Search function of the Business Information System allows you to check your current registration status and contact details.
