Finnish Arts and Culture Agency accepts only electronic invoices that are compliant with the European Standard. The payment term for invoices is 21 days net.
The invoice must include the reference details mentioned in our separate e-invoicing guide.
All invoices must always meet the mandatory requirements for the information content on an invoice specified in the Value Added Tax Act. Further information about invoice requirements can be found on the State Treasury website.
To register on the portal, send the following information to [email protected]:
Name, address and business ID of your company/organisation
Name and e-mail address of contact person (contact person = administrator in the Handi supplier portal)
An invitation will be sent from Palkeet to the e-mail address of the contact person for registering on the Handi supplier portal. If necessary, the contact person may add other users within the organisation to the supplier portal.
Self-employed persons (private traders) must submit an YEL insurance certificate as an attachment to their first invoice and thereafter once a year. YEL insurance certificates can be obtained from your insurance company.
Self-employed persons with minimal business activities do not require YEL insurance, in which case compensation is paid as a fee on which Taike pays VaEL pension insurance.
As of 1 January 2026 grants or subsidies that have not been used can be refunded to any of the Finnish Arts and Culture Agency's incoming payment accounts. Please enter the diary number of the case in the message field of the payment.
