Closure processes: Step-by-step
Shutting down your operations or putting business activity on pause is straightforward with 1Office. Here’s how it works and what is included in the price:
- Shareholders’s meeting decision
The general meeting must approve the liquidation - Notification to the Trade Register
Once the decision is made, the liquidators notify the Finnish Trade Register (PRH) - Closure activities
During liquidation, the liquidator collects receivables, sells assets, pays debts, and prepares final accounts.
- Final meeting and settlements
The liquidator prepares final financial statements (lopputilitys) and a final report. - Deregistration
Once final settlement is registered, the company is removed from the Trade Register.
Important! Your company’s accounting must be current before we begin. View our accounting services to get your reports and accounting in order.
Tax Deregistrations: Step-by-step
Deregistering your company from tax registers (VAT, prepayment, and employer) when winding down operations in Finland is simple. Here’s how it works and what is included in the price:
- Ensure tax matters are up to date
All final tax returns must be submitted and taxes paid before deregistration.
- Adjust prepayments if needed
Review and request changes to income tax prepayments in MyTax to avoid over- or underpayment. - Notification of termination
An authorised person or a director submits a notification of termination via the Business Information System (YTJ), which informs both the Tax Administration and Trade Register. - Automatic removal from registers
The Tax Administration removes the company from the VAT, prepayment, and employer registers based on the notification. - Confirmation and closure
Once processed (typically after final Trade Register deregistration), the company is fully removed from all tax registers.
Important! Your company’s accounting must be current before we begin. View our accounting services to get your reports and accounting in order.
