Final report

Submit the final report before deadline

The deadline for submitting the final report is stated in the grant decision. Submit your final report using our e-services before the deadline by filling in the online form. Taike will send a reminder one week before the deadline.

If you have been awarded multiple grants, make sure you fill in the final report form for the right grant.

When reviewing your final report of how the grant was used, Taike takes into consideration other grants awarded for the same purpose, as well as any revenues generated by the project. If the project generates a profit, you may be asked to repay the grant in full or in part. However, the project does not have to be fully completed during the grant period.

Failure to submit the final report may disqualify you from receiving future grants. If no final report is submitted, you will have to repay the grant.

Checklist for submitting the final report

The grant must be used only for the intended purpose and to cover the costs specified in the application.
Before filling in the final report form, check your original application. You can find your application and any attachments using Taike’s e-services.
For working grants, you do not need to include receipts and invoices with your final report.
You do not need to include receipts and invoices with your final report. However, save them for at least three years after the end of the grant period. In addition, save proof of payment of any shares of the grant paid to members of the working group. Taike may request to see receipts and invoices when reviewing your final report.
Grants awarded to an individual or a work group cannot to be transferred to the account of a company or community. If you have done so, your final report will be rejected and you will have to repay the grant.
Taike does not send separate confirmation after approving the final report. However, if the final report is incomplete or if additional information is required, you will be contacted by Taike.
If you have applied for a grant using a printed application form instead of online, you must submit your final report on a separate form. To have one sent to you, please contact Taike’s customer service.

Clarification for a working grant

Final report for a project grant

Project grants are intended for individual projects and related costs.

Final report for project grants should confirm the following:

What results you achieved with the grant
Income and costs (overall project budget)

Eligible costs for project grants include, for example, material costs, production costs and travel costs. In addition, reasonable kilometre compensation, for transporting a work of art, for example, may be considered an eligible cost. Kilometre compensation is calculated according to the amount of travel allowance applied in the taxation of private individuals (€0.27/km 2024, Finnish Tax Administration).

Final report for grants awarded to a working group

Each member of the working group is responsible for how the grant is used. The contact person for the working group is responsible for ensuring that the final report is submitted to Taike by the deadline.

The final reports for grants awarded to a working group should confirm the following:

What results the working group achieved with the grant
What share of the grant was paid to members of the working group

If you hire external staff for the project (other than members of your working group listed in the application), withholding taxes and social security must be paid on wages and reported in the Income Register of the Tax Administration.
