Can a forest owner with a Business ID register for the service?

This article is meant for OP Light Entrepreneur users with Business ID.

Forest ownership must take into account the different forms of ownership.

  • If you are a partner in a forest partnership (metsäyhtymä) with other partners, you can join our service. The Business ID of a forest partnership is separate from the Business ID of a private trader. We can therefore use our service to file a tax return and a VAT return for a private trader, even if you are a partner in a forest partnership.

  • If you carry out forestry under your own Business ID and the Business ID is liable for VAT on primary production, the OP Light Entrepreneur service cannot unfortunately be used. The income of a private trader and the Business ID of a forest owner is declared on the same tax return.

Currently, we are unable to file a tax return for forest ownership.
