There are 2 paths of VAT registration in Estonia

– obligatory VAT registration

– voluntary VAT Registration

For any person that is registered for VAT purposes in your country, there will be an obligation to register as a VAT person on or after the date on which such person’s taxable supplies exceed €40,000. This applies from the first day of the calendar year.

A person needs to apply for VAT registration with the Estonian Tax and Customs Board within 3 working days of the date on which they arise.

To be a VAT payer in Estonia, you have to have a business in this country or about to start a business.

If someone doesn’t have to pay tax or their taxable supply does not exceed €40,000, they should be okay being a VAT payer. Whoever appears as such should be able to register voluntarily.  Explore VAT regulations here.
