VAT
An obligation to register as a VAT payer shall arise as of the date on which the taxable turnover exceeds 40,000 euros as calculated from the beginning of a calendar year. An authorised representative of the company shall submit an application for registration of the company as a VAT payer to the Tax and Customs Board within three working days as of the date on which the registration arises.
Any company may apply for registration even before the obligation arises, but in this case it should prove that it is engaged in business or is about to commence business in Estonia. If the proof provided concerning the person’s business or commencement of business is insufficient, the Tax and Customs Board shall have the right to request that the person submit additional proof, collect such proof on its own initiative, or refuse to register the company as a VAT payer.
Examples of evidence of activity includes:
- A business plan
- Contracts with buyers and suppliers, draft contracts, written agreements, correspondence with suppliers/customers that reflect intention to sell and purchase goods/services
- A bank account statement showing incoming payments from buyers or payments to suppliers
- The company’s website with the list of goods and services offered by the company.
As practice shows, trustworthy evidence may facilitate obtaining a VAT number. Companies with members of the management board who are not residents of Estonia fall under special scrutiny of the Tax and Customs Board, because of frequent cases of VAT tax avoidance in the EU countries.
