Oracle HRMS enables you to request the employees' tax cards for the new tax year. You send the tax card request to the tax administration in the form of a flat file that contains the employee details. Every employee assignment appears as a separate row in the generated flat file.

The tax administration sends back a file, which is the same request file with the tax information added to every employee assignment record. The tax administration sends the electronic tax cards in a fixed file format. You upload the tax card information into the application.

If an employee's tax card changes during the tax year and if the tax administration issues a new tax card, you will have to update the new tax card manually into the application.

1. To send the tax card request:

   1. Choose the Single Request option.

   2. Query the Finnish Tax Card Requisition request in the Submit Request window.

   3. Enter the information for the following parameters:

      • Magnetic Filename

      • Legal Employer

      • Local Unit

        Note: If you select the local unit, the Finnish Tax Card Requisition request extracts the data for only that local unit. If you do not provide this parameter, the request extracts the data for all the local units, having sub-disbursement numbers, that belong to the legal employer.

      • Electronic Transfer Provider ID

   4. Submit the request.

   5. Close the window.

2. To upload the tax card:

   1. Convert the flat file that you receive from the Finnish authorities to a text file (with extension .txt).

   2. Run the meta-mapper and place the converted file in a directory readable by the database. This is a system administration task.
