Can anybody confirm which taxes you pay if you’re a sole owner of Estonian company and permanently live in Portugal with NHR granted. So in that case you pay salary (Category A income) to yourself part of which considered for company management (thus taxed in [Estonia](https://nomadgate.com/estonia/)) and another part as professional service (not taxed in [Estonia](https://nomadgate.com/estonia/) as you are not resident there) would it be exempt from PT taxes under NHR? In a whole (both parts)? Or “effective management rules” will ban this? ---

HI @MadNoMad. The salary part (cat. A income) should be exempt as long as it is subject to tax in [Estonia](https://nomadgate.com/estonia/). The professional services part should not be tax exempt since (I guess) you (i.e. yourself, as service provider) don’t have a permanent establishment in [Estonia](https://nomadgate.com/estonia/) and you don’t spend more than 183 days there. Have you considered paying dividends to yourself instead of paying yourself professional services income? Take care and stay safe ---

Hello @guifig, paying dividends involves 21% charge… So paying a salary looks more tax effective. ---

Where did you get those 21% from @MadNoMad? ---

Are you talking about the Estonian dividend tax? What do you mean ‘paying salary’, issuing salary to yourself? ---

I have an e-commerce company in [Estonia](https://nomadgate.com/estonia/). What if it reinvests its profits into crypto and follows the scheme described in the link below, would that work? > **[How a Portugal-Estonia structure can be tax effective for investing in crypto?](https://cointaxlist.com/blog/how-a-portugal-estonia-structure-can-be-tax-effective-for-investing-in-crypto)** > > Best country for crypto tax Portugal Estonia 2021 crypto tax friendly countries bitcoin crypto tax free countries ---

hi @MadNoMad @andrey3 , did you end up finding a structure that works for you? I’m preparing to open an Estonian e-res company and got NHR in PT just last year, and I’m trying to figure everything out 🙂 So far I was recommended to invoice my Estonian company as a portuguese Freelance; I’m still wondering if it’s the best way - or if dividend/director’s fee would work? I’m mostly looking for the least hassle - and ideally, benefit at least a little bit from NHR. Thank you!
