In August 2021, companies risking deregistration received a reminder letter from the PRH requesting them to file their financial statements by the deadline. Read more about the reminder letter. Open link in a new tab In September 2021, the PRH made an entry of the reminder letter in the Finnish Trade Register record of the company and published a public notice in the Official Journal. In the public notice, the PRH requested companies to file their financial statements by 21 December 2021.Open link in a new tab
We also informed the companies of the procedure using a number of communication channels.
Companies that have been deregistered did not file their financial statements with the Finnish Trade Register by the deadline.
The PRH's right to deregister companies that have not filed their financial statements is based in each case on either the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act (chapter 20, section 4) or the Finnish Co-operatives Act (chapter 23, section 4).
What happens after deregistration?
Deregistration means that the business is out of action. Read more about deregistration. Please contact the Finnish Trade Register’s Advisory Service for further details. See contact details at the end of this announcement.
