Tax declaration for trading unlisted shares in Finland
If you are tax liable in Finland and you buy or sell shares in an unlisted company such as Master English Ltd, you must report the transaction to the tax authorities on your own initiative.​​
​
​​The following instructions have been prepared specifically for private individuals who are tax liable in Finland. They do not cover all tax reporting issues, but focus on points that may not be self-evident.
​
These instructions were last updated on 8.5.2025.
​
BUYER: Transfer tax
If the buyer is a taxpayer in Finland, they need to file a transfer tax return and pay the transfer tax arising from the transaction. In 2025, the transfer tax is 1,5%.​​
​
​​If the buyer is not a taxpayer in Finland but the seller is, the transfer tax return will be filed by the seller, who will also pay the transfer tax arising from the transaction.
​
The Finnish Tax Administration's instructions on transfer tax are quite good. You can find them in Finnish, Swedish and English at this link. ​
​
TIPS
-
As a buyer, you need to know the seller's date of birth or personal identification number for the transfer tax return if the seller is a private individual, or the business ID number if the seller is a company. When trading with a private individual, you can bypass the personal identification number on the form as follows: select "Person" as the seller on the declaration form and select "No" in the "Do you know the seller's Finnish personal identification number?" section. In this case, only the seller's name is required.
-
When you have logged in to MyTax (vero.fi), you will find the Transfer Tax section in the My Tax Types section of the page.
-
Under Agreement information / Property acquired by agreement, select: "Business share (tax 1,5%)".
-
Even though the tax authorities allow two months to pay the transfer tax, it is worth paying it immediately. A company that properly maintains its shareholder register can only register you as the owner of the shares when they receive proof of payment of the transfer tax from you.
-
If you buy shares from several parties, you need to file a separate transfer tax return for each transaction.
​​
SELLER: Capital gain or loss
If the seller is tax liable Finland, they must report the capital gain or loss to the tax authorities as follows.
-
Log into MyTax (vero.fi).
