Tax reporting in Estonia (OÜ)

Business
1

Hi,

We are looking to open a VAT registered OÜ in Estonia.

Most of the service providers offer accounting and tax reporting as part of the package. So far, we have been doing both ourselves and might continue to do so.

Is the whole system for tax reporting available in English? Is there any reason to not do it oneself if one has been doing so in the past in a European country and “knows” the basics?

EDIT: Bonus question. Are there any DIY accounting tools that plug nicely into the Estonian ecosystem?

Hi,

I have no idea about Estonia, but I am in a similar situation in another non-English speaking country with the end of month deadline :slight_smile:
I do not have a tax rep there, so going DIY.
Very little info is available in English in the official sources, and virtually none in the online forums.
I am therefore using Google Translate/Deepl to read the websites and various PDFs.
So far I feel like I am getting there but will only be able to tell for sure after the deadline passes :slight_smile:

Best of luck! I don’t envy you. :slight_smile:

I’d rather not go through the hassle of auto-translations. The main reason I’d like to set up in Estonia is to simplify everything.

Most of the official government software you would need to use for this in Estonia will be available in English. That means all the questions will be in English, however some categorisations for some answers could still be in Estonian. You would still need to use a bit of Google translate.
