Amendments to VAT Act proposed following Finland’s accession to NATO

Finland is considering amending its VAT Act to comply with EU VAT directive requirements following its accession to NATO.
The proposed amendment would exempt domestic supplies of goods and services to other NATO member jurisdictions participating in joint defense efforts outside their jurisdiction from VAT.
It would also exempt supplies of goods and services to other EU member states for the same purpose, as well as imports of goods to Finland for joint defense efforts.
The changes are expected to take effect as soon as possible.
