As a member of the European Union, Finland has adopted VAT legislation that is largely harmonized with other EU Member States. This means that there are many similarities in the way that VAT is applied in Finland and other EU countries, as the EU has worked to create a common framework for VAT across the region.
VAT legislation has been harmonized in many respects across the EU, including in Finland. The EU directive is binding for each member state, but the choice of implementation is left to each EU country which needs to adjust it according to its national law.
