Foreign capital income in 2023

This section lists your foreign capital income. This income includes:

  • dividend income
  • rental income or losses from a rental operation
  • capital gains and capital losses, as well as the number of tax-exempt transfers of assets
  • other capital income, such as
    • interest income
    • income from life insurance contracts, either investment-based or savings-based (including a “shell” contract), with insurers outside Finland.

The Tax Administration receives information on some items of income directly from the source country of the income; this information is pre-completed on the tax return. Typically, these pre-completed details include pensions received from Sweden, for example, or income in the form of dividends from foreign payors. Check the information and make additions as necessary. 

How to file in MyTax

The Pre-completed income and deductions stage contains the information on your foreign income that has been available to the Tax Administration. If you make corrections, select the link with the payor’s name.

If no income from foreign sources is pre-completed, fill in the details in the Other income stage. Select Yes at Foreign income. After this, click Open specification under “Foreign capital income in 2023” and report the required information.
