Frequently asked questions

Does every Estonian company have to submit an annual report?

Yes. Every Estonian company must submit an annual report, including companies with no business activity during the financial year.

When is the annual report deadline in Estonia?

The annual report is normally due within six months after the end of the company’s financial year. For companies whose financial year ends on 31 December, the deadline is 30 June of the following year.

Does a dormant Estonian company need an annual report?

Yes. Having no turnover or transactions does not remove the annual reporting obligation. The report may be simpler, but it must still be filed.

What happens if I miss the annual report deadline?

A late report should be filed as soon as possible. Continued non-filing can lead to warnings, fines, and eventually proceedings concerning the company’s registration.

Can I file my Estonian company’s annual report myself?

Yes. A board member can submit the annual report electronically through the Estonian Business Register. For an active company, however, preparing the financial statements correctly requires appropriate accounting records and knowledge of Estonian reporting requirements.

Can I submit my annual report from outside Estonia?

Yes. The process is digital. An e-resident can sign the annual report online using the available Estonian digital identification methods.

What does an Estonian annual report contain?

For most small e-resident OÜs, the report includes financial statements such as the balance sheet and income statement together with the required notes. The exact requirements depend on the company’s size and circumstances.

Who is responsible for filing the annual report?

The company’s management board is responsible for ensuring that the annual report is prepared and submitted, even when an accountant prepares it on the company’s behalf.

What happens if I miss the VAT registration deadline?

If your taxable turnover exceeds €40,000 and you fail to register within three business days, EMTA can assess VAT retroactively from the date the threshold was crossed and apply interest and penalties on the unpaid amount. It is always better to register promptly and proactively. If you realise you have already crossed the threshold, contact Unicount or EMTA immediately.
