Local Regulations / Requirements

The rules you need to follow as a courier partnering with Wolt— set by local law and authorities. If a situation isn't covered here, contact Support.

Tax withholding is starting for couriers in Finland

From 1 January 2027, Wolt will withhold income tax from each courier payout and send it to the Finnish Tax Administration (Verohallinto). To keep delivering on Wolt, submit your tax and bank details by 25 November 2026. If we haven’t received them, your account will be set offline from 15 December 2026.

How to submit: We’ve sent you a personal form link in the Partner App and by email. Open the link and fill in your details. Haven’t received it? Check your spam folder, then contact Support through the Partner App chat and we’ll send it again.

Why is this happening?

This follows a 2026 Supreme Administrative Court ruling: the Tax Administration now treats courier fees as wage income, so tax must be withheld from payouts.

About your tax card (verokortti)

Your tax card is the document the Finnish Tax Authority uses to tell Wolt how much tax to withhold from each payout. The percentage depends on your income, deductions and personal situation.

Make sure you have your tax card before 1 January 2027. Order or update your tax card at vero.fi using bank credentials or Suomi.fi ID. Please note that you do not need to send your tax card to us. Our payroll provider will get it directly from the Tax Administration.

What you need to submit

1

Full legal name

Exactly as it appears on your ID.

2

Finnish social security number

Your Finnish social security number, format DDMMYY-XXXX.

3

IBAN

The bank account where you want payouts from 1 January 2027. Personal or business.

4

Proof of bank

A banking-app screenshot, monthly statement, or official bank letter — must show both your name and the IBAN clearly.

Wolt Market Tips

As part of your courier journey, you may sometimes be receiving orders from Wolt Market.

To help everything run smoothly and to maintain good relationships with landlords, tenants, and neighbors, we’d like to share some important recommendations:

✔ Only use loading/delivery areas when you have an active order — these spaces should stay free for building operations.

✔ Designated parking areas are for short-term use only and should not be occupied for longer than 15 minutes.

✔ Do not block driveways or access points needed for delivery transport or emergency vehicles. ✔ Avoid activities in the area, as this can cause property damage and complaints. ✔ Keep the surroundings clean — throw trash in bins and never leave waste behind.

✔ Do not feed animals (such as birds), as this may attract other animals and create potential food safety risks. ✔ Show respect for the people living and working nearby — avoid urinating or behaving in ways that may disturb others.

These may seem like small actions, but together they make a big difference. Following these recommendations helps prevent conflicts, ensures smooth operations, and keeps Wolt seen as a positive partner in every community where we operate.

Thank you for your cooperation and for representing Wolt in the best way 🩵
