Limited liability companies and co-operatives that have not filed financial statements risk being struck off the Trade Register
The Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH), which maintains the Trade Register, will de-register limited liability companies and co-operatives that – despite reminder letters – have not filed their financial statements for registration.
The second de-registration in 2017 includes 1 900 limited liability companies and co-operatives that have not submitted their financial statements within two years and six months.
The businesses on the list must file their financial statements by 2 January 2018. The instructions for filing financial statements are available on the PRH website. Read the instructions.
The PRH can de-register even an active business if they do not file the financial statements by the deadline, 2 January 2018, and there is no basis for ordering the business into liquidation. De-registration will take place in January 2018.
All limited liability companies and co-operatives must prepare financial statements for each financial period, even if they are not active. The documents must also be submitted to the Trade Register (this does not apply to housing co-operatives and mutual real estate limited companies under the Housing Companies Act).
