Effects of the VAT change on training prices from 1 September 2024

The general VAT rate will increase from 24 per cent to 25.5 per cent on 1 September 2024. The increased VAT rate will also affect the prices of training courses provided by the Centre for Occupational Safety.

During the VAT change period, customers should note that the VAT percentage is determined according to the date of delivery or performance of the products and services. This means that the new VAT rate applies to quotes and agreements made before 1 September 2024 if the service is implemented on or after 1 September.

“If a training course takes place in August, the applicable VAT rate on the invoice will be 24%. Training courses held in September will be invoiced according to the new 25.5% VAT rate. In other words, the date of performance determines the VAT rate at which the training courses are invoiced,” explains Financial and Personnel Manager Päivi Nevasalmi from the Centre for Occupational Safety.

The prices of publications purchased from the ttk.fi webshop and replacement Occupational Safety Cards will remain unchanged for customers for the time being.
