VAT, Excise Duty and Reporting Services

for Foreign Alcohol Distance Sellers Entering the Finnish Market

How to start selling alcohol in Finland ?

Finland has opened its market for alcohol distance sales, creating new opportunities for wine
merchants, spirits retailers, breweries, cider producers, beverage distributors and online alcohol
stores throughout the European Union and European Economic Area.

Companies selling alcoholic beverages to Finnish consumers must comply with Finnish tax and
reporting requirements. These obligations can be challenging for businesses that do not have local
expertise or a presence in Finland.

Alvitar Oy provides specialised support for foreign alcohol distance sellers entering the Finnish
market
