Annual reports

Each money collection permit has an annual reporting obligation, regardless of whether a collection has been arranged or donations have been received. Money Collection permits are valid indefinitely and annual reports are made once a year. Processing of annual reports has a fee, which is 205 euros in the year 2026.

Holders of money collection permits that are valid indefinitely should send their annual reports to the National Police Board. Send the report either in Finnish or Swedish via the online services of the police. You can send it also by post or email if necessary. Use of online services of the police is recommended. 

The National Police Board’s email address for annual reports is arpajaishallinto@poliisi.fi. Alternatively, annual reports can be sent by post to the National Police Board, Gambling Administration, PO Box 50, FI-11101 RIIHIMÄKI.

The reports are designed to explain to the permit authority how much has been raised through money collection campaigns and how the funds raised have been used. In addition to reviewing permit holders’ annual reports, the permit authorities randomly select permit holders for more extensive inspections.
