If an employee or his family uses the employer’s passenger car or van for private driving, this gives rise to a taxable company car benefit ( in finnish: autoetu / in swedish: bilförmån ). The tax value is based on the year when the vehicle was put into service, as recorded in its registration document, as follows:
The employee should substantiate the values based on kilometres by keeping records, such as a driver’s log. Tax authorities may revaluate the taxable value of the company car benefit in the final assessment if the kilometres relating to private driving obviously exceed 18,000 kilometres.
If the employee uses different vehicles during the month because of the nature of his work, the basic value of the benefit should be based on the characteristics of the vehicle used most of the time. 18 §
In age groups A, B and C, ‘basic value’ means the percentage calculated on the replacement price. ‘replacement price’ means the general recommended retail price of the make and model, valid at the beginning of the month during which the car was put into service, and quoted by the importer, or if this information is not available, the price quoted by the wholesaler, less €3,400.00.

The value of accessories is added to the car’s replacement price insofar as their value exceeds €850.00.
