• When you log in to the web service for the first time, we will ask you to confirm your email address. We will continue to ask you to update your information at regular intervals.
• The navigation menus at the top and the left side of the web service give you access to different sections of the service that allow you to change or view your own information and distributions.
• PLEASE NOTE! Since the web service upgrade is still in progress, some of the functions are performed in the old service and some in the new service. Therefore, the appearance and functionality of the service will vary.

You can change your address, email address or phone number yourself in the Member Information tab. Remember to save your changes.

You can add or update your tax  information and change your bank account number in the Paid Royalties section of the Remuneration tab.

The tax information must be updated no later than on the Sunday before the payment date of the distribution for which you want to use it. Unfortunately, tax info added later than that cannot be considered.

PLEASE NOTE! If you want to receive royalties as earned income or compensation of use, please click here for more information.

The Tax Administration’s Incomes Register has largely replaced separate income certificates, which means that you will no longer need a separate certificate of the royalties paid to you by Teosto.

The Tax Administration’s Incomes Register provides unemployment funds, Kela, insurance companies, pension providers, the Tax Administration, employment funds and many other parties with information about the royalties and financial support paid by Teosto to its members.

If you need to submit an income certificate to a party that does not receive information directly from the Incomes Register, you can print out your own Income Register extract directly from the Incomes Register for private individuals.

If you need information about the period for which the royalties have been paid to you as an attachment to your Incomes Register extract, you can see this information in our web service in the Paid Royalties section under the Remuneration tab.

You can submit work notifications in the Work Notifications section of the Works tab by clicking the New work notification button.

Submit a work notification

• for a new work
• for a new version of an existing work, if it has different authors or if the shares of the authors differ from those in the original work notification. Add an identifier to the name of the new version that distinguishes it from the original work, for example Extended or RadioMix.

You can edit a work notification that you have already submitted if

• the work is unpublished
• the authors of the work and their shares will not be changed
• only information such as the title of the work, the duration or similar details will be changed

Performance notifications for live performances as well as live-streamed gigs and concerts can be submitted in the Performance Notifications section of the Performances tab. The information required for a performance notification includes the date of the performance, the location, the event organiser and the works performed.

How to submit a performance notification

You can view the distribution statements for distributions made to you up to 2014 in the Paid Royalties section of the Remuneration tab. In this section, you can also see for which period the royalties have been paid to you, in case you need to attach that information to your Incomes Register extract from the Incomes Register, for example.

You will be able to view your upcoming distributions in the Distributions section of the Remuneration tab ten days before the distribution date of each distribution.

If you notice any omissions or errors in your distribution, please let us know by submitting a complaint in the Complaints tab.
