We made a small interview with the Managing
Director of Leinonen Estonia, Kaire Rebane, and asked her 3
questions about Estonian business:
1.
What characterizes Estonia´s
business environment? Why should companies invest in Estonia?
Estonia, or should we say
e-Estonia,
is an extremely attractive market for foreign companies for many reasons. It
has become probably the first country in the world that offers e-residency.
This means that entrepreneurs around the world can set up and run a business in
Estonia if they are e-residents.
World's most innovative e-services
E-residency allows the entrepreneur to run
their everyday businesses remotely as e-registers facilitate reporting and
various inquiries (e-tax reporting system, e-statistics, e-health insurance
fund, e-credit inquiries, e-land register, e-health information, e-unemployment
office, e-banking with 99% of banking transactions made online, etc.). All
accounting services are also made online. Read further about doing business in
Estonia from

Special characteristics of the Estonian
tax system
Estonia is a special country with respect
to its corporate taxes. It is probably the only country in the world that has
implemented a system where corporations only pay taxes on their distributed
dividends. Estonian resident companies and the permanent establishments of
foreign entities (including branches) are subject to 20% income tax only in
respect to all distributed profits. Read further about Estonian tax rates from
our website.
