Why Estonia
A modern EU home for location-independent businesses.
Estonia is one of the most efficient places in the EU to run a digital services, online-platform, or remote-team company. Here's the short version.
Tax advantage
Low corporate tax — 0% on retained and re-invested profit. You pay only when you distribute earnings.
- Director's fees free from corporate/personal tax up to €700/month.
- No withholding tax on loan interest — attractive for loan-financing or as a group financial center.
- Distribution to the owner is taxed 22/78; Estonia-resident owners pay 0% personal income tax on dividends.
Best fit
Digital services, online platforms, remote teams, consultants, holding companies, international traders, and liberal professions.
A natural EU home
Combined with a fully digital state, EU membership, and English-friendly institutions, it's a natural home for remote, IT and platform businesses.
