You will receive a vehicle tax bill, i.e. an invoice for vehicle tax, every year.

Corporate customers can provide a separate invoicing address for the vehicle tax bill.

E-invoice

You can receive invoices in electronic format in your online bank. These are called e-invoices. The invoice contains all the required information, and all you need to do is check the invoice and confirm the payment. 

You can order an e-invoice proposal for vehicle tax in My e-services and accept it in your online bank.

Order vehicle tax as an e-invoice

You can also order an e-invoice through your own online bank. To order e-invoices, you need your vehicle tax customer number. The customer number is marked on the vehicle tax bill, and you can check it from Traficom’s My e-Services under My details.

When ordering the e-invoice, please note that the vehicle tax bills for all the vehicles of the taxpayer specified in the vehicle tax bill will be sent to the online bank as an e-invoice. To make sure that you do not order another person’s vehicle tax bills to your online bank, review the taxpayer information carefully. For more information about ordering e-invoices, please contact your own bank.

OmaPosti

OmaPosti will send you a notification when you receive a vehicle tax bill, if you have activated notifications in the application. You can pay your vehicle taxes directly in the OmaPosti app. 

If you order an e-invoice, you will no longer receive your vehicle tax bill in OmaPosti.

The death estate’s vehicle tax bill is sent to the address known to Traficom.

A party to the death estate may report the change of address in writing to Traficom by post or email. You are required to verify your interest in the death estate by including the deed of estate inventory, the deceased person’s birth certificate, an extract from the Population Information System or a report on family relationships. The address reported to Traficom is valid for up to one year, after which the address must be reported again, if necessary.
