Frequently asked questions about Private Trader bookkeeping
A Private Trader is required by law to record all business income and expenses in accordance with the Accounting Act. Bookkeeping is used to monitor the financial position of the business and to ensure that tax returns are filed correctly.
A Private Trader may use single-entry bookkeeping if the business is small-scale and does not require double-entry bookkeeping.
A Private Trader’s profit is taxed as the entrepreneur’s personal income. The business profit is split between earned income and capital income.
Taxes are paid as prepayments, which the Tax Administration sets based on estimated profit. If your profit changes, you can adjust your prepayment tax during the year.
A Private Trader cannot pay themselves a salary — instead, money is withdrawn as owner’s drawings. Drawings are not considered salary and are not subject to separate payroll tax. The business profit is taxed as personal income regardless.
As a Private Trader, you create an invoice that includes all mandatory details: your Business ID, invoice date, a unique invoice number, client information, a description of the service or product, and VAT information (if you are VAT-registered). Invoicing tools like UKKO Entrepreneur make creating invoices straightforward and ensure all legally required fields are included correctly.
The law does not require you to use an accountant, but your bookkeeping must be done correctly and kept up to date. Many entrepreneurs choose to outsource their bookkeeping to save time and avoid errors in their tax returns. With UKKO Entrepreneur, your bookkeeping, VAT returns, and tax returns are all handled on your behalf.
In cash-basis bookkeeping, income and expenses are recorded when money actually changes hands — not when an invoice is sent or received.
This is the most common bookkeeping method for small Private Trader businesses and makes it easy to keep a clear, straightforward view of your finances.
As an entrepreneur, you are responsible for ensuring that the information, receipts, and transactions you submit for bookkeeping are accurate. When you use UKKO Entrepreneur, we review your bookkeeping based on the information you provide before any filings are submitted.
If you spot a mistake, we’ll help you correct it. By submitting your business receipts to us monthly, your bookkeeping stays consistently up to date.
Doing your own bookkeeping often carries risks that can lead to additional enquiries from the tax authority or tax penalties.
Yes, you can. If you switch to UKKO Entrepreneur during the year, we’ll handle the transition from your current accounting firm on your behalf. We can also sort out any overdue bookkeeping if needed.

“Ennen UKKO Yrittäjää minulla oli kolme eri kirjanpitäjää. Aluksi palvelu oli hyvää, mutta vuosi vuodelta taso laski ja hinnat nousivat. Ukon kanssa olen saanut tasaisen laadukasta palvelua ja selkeän kiinteän hinnan.”
