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 here.
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.
