The Incomes Register is a national electronic database that contains all the income information concerning persons living in Finland. As of 1 January 2021, the Incomes Register was expanded to include pension and benefit information as well.
The Incomes Register does not contain any information concerning pension or benefit decisions or whether or not an application is pending.
Daily use of the Incomes Register by pension recipients
Veritas has been reporting information about paid pensions and benefits to the Incomes Register since 1 January 2021. As a pension recipient, you do not need to worry about reporting any information to the Incomes Register.
The Incomes Register makes it easier for pension and benefit recipients to manage their daily matters. Since their income information is up-to-date in the Incomes Register, pension recipients do not need to independently supply the authorities with this information, for example, as attachments to possible applications.
You can use the e-service of the Incomes Register (www.tulorekisteri.fi) to:
- Review your own pension and benefit information
- Order an Incomes Register extract that shows your income information.
Log in and review your own income information from the website of the Incomes Register. You can log in using your own online banking codes, a mobile certificate or a Citizen Certificate.
Where is the data in the Incomes Register used?
Authorities, such as Kela or pension insurance companies only have access to the information in the Incomes Register that they are legally entitled to access as necessary to carry out their activities. Other than the income recipient and the authorities, no parties are granted access to the income information in the Incomes Register.
