Tax errors

The tax office demanded payment of the debt and charged a penalty. It could have been a normal situation, but everything turned out to be not so simple. The client was supposed to pay an advance payment of income tax for 2026 by 24.08 and paid it on 18.08. All details, including the viitenumero, are indicated correctly. The reason for the debt and penalty was the crediting of the payment in the future period, 23.09. It is clear that this operation was automatic and the crediting algorithm was not configured for a specific client. There are no grounds for assuming intentional settings for artificial debts and groundless charging of penalties. But the event is and turned out to be systemic. Considering that not all entrepreneurs work with qualified accounting firms, and some do not have accountants at all, we provide a clear algorithm of actions to correct the situation: 1. On the home page of your personal tax account OmaVero, go to the Tax Affairs tab. 2. In the bottom row, find Oikaisuväämäkset in the center and click All Oikaisuväämäkset. 3. Select Muutoksenhakukelpoinen päästös, virhe maksun tai palautuksen tähtään. 4. In the table that opens, select the desired payment and, going down to Hakemuksen perustelut, write in the Rationale window in any form that the tax office attributed the payment incorrectly, please fix the error. 5. Send by clicking Next, Send. Check your notifications and do not pay unreasonable fines due to algorithmic failures!
