Why do we need your authorization?

In order to handle your company's affairs, we need authorization to do so. Without authorization, Truster is just an app on your phone – with authorization, we're your accountant.

We need two separate authorizations from you in the Suomi.fi service. Both are essential, but they're needed at different stages.

1. Personal authorizations (Startti)

This is given at the start of the service. It's the authorization to set up a company.

1. What we do with it: We open a Y-tunnus (Business ID) for you or retrieve the details of your existing company.
2. If this is missing: The service won't start, and we won't be able to open your account.

2. Company authorizations (Arki)

This is given once the Y-tunnus is active. It's the authorization to handle tax matters.

• What we do with it: We file VAT returns, tax returns, and pay taxes from your account to the tax authority.
• If this is missing: Taxes go unreported and unpaid. This leads to tax increases and late-payment fees, even if you think you're using the service.

Check the status of your authorizations in the app: Company details > Tax payment details. If the page is empty, the authorization is missing.
