From 1 January 2026, Finland will abolish the requirement to submit Intrastat returns for Intra-Community acquisitions of goods. The final return will cover December 2025 and will be due on 16 January 2026. Any corrections will be allowed up until 14 August 2026.
In contrast, Intrastat retuns for dispatches of goods to other EU Member States will continue to apply. The existing annual reporting threshold of EUR 800,000 for dispatches will remain unchanged.
Going forward, the Finnish Customs Authorities will rely on shipment microdata provided by other EU Member States in order to compile statistical data.
This change forms part of a wider EU initiative to streamline statistical reporting and reduce the administrative burden on businesses involved in intra-EU trade, by simplifying the obligations linked to the collection of trade statistics.
