In recent years acquiring the VAT ID in Estonia has become a challenging task. The tax officials will examine your business plan, ask about the partners (vendors and clients), want to see contracts, commercial offers, etc., and will check the background of the owners and board members.
If you plan to use the Estonian company for only the so-called triangular business model, the tax officials will more than likely refuse to give your company a VAT ID.
If your business model requires a VAT ID for your Estonian company, you will have two options:
1. To “create” VAT-related sales for more than 250,000 EEK (16,000 EUR) and apply for a VAT ID;
2. To buy a ready-made company with a valid VAT ID.
For the best option contact our consultants.
NB! Even if you succeed in acquiring a VAT ID for your company it would be worthwhile to remember that the tax authority has the right to delete a taxable person from the register if the taxable person has failed to submit a value added tax return for the last six consecutive taxable periods. The tax authority has also the right to delete a taxable person from the register if the taxable person does not engage in business in Estonia. The monthly VAT returns should be submitted by the 20th of the next calendar month.
