Invoicing practices

User licences and datasets are invoiced separately after decision-making or delivery.

One original invoice is sent in invoicing under public law. If the invoice is not paid by the due date, a maximum of two reminders will be sent. If the invoice has not been paid by the due date of the second reminder, the invoice goes into collections.

In case of any unclarities or errors related to invoicing, please contact the Research Services (tutkijapalvelut@stat.fi) immediately after the first invoice has been received.

Invoicing for updated ready-made datasets

Automatic updates based on the existing user licence are charged annually in February. The annual updating fee applies to updates automatically exported to a project in the calendar year in question. Other data updates are invoiced separately in connection with the extraction request.

Invoicing of SISU register datasets

An annual fee is charged for the SISU register dataset for each calendar year when the dataset has been in use. The annual fee is also charged when the dataset has not been in use for the full year. The annual fees are invoiced in February. New datasets opened during the year are invoiced during the month after their opening.

Invoicing of remote access use

The fees for remote access are proportioned to the monthly level according to the starting and ending times so that the project pays only for those months when the project machine remains open for over half of the month. The minimum invoicing period for remote access use is one month, that is, one month's share of the annual fee.

The capacity charge of the project machine is invoiced based on the BU volume accumulated during the actual invoicing period and the price according to the operating system. There is no minimum invoiced amount for the capacity charge.

The remote access charges are invoiced four times a year.
