Annual Reporting for Estonian Companies

Every Estonian company - active or dormant, local or e-resident - must file an annual report with the Commercial Register each year. It is the one filing that decides whether your company stays in good standing, and the one most owners leave to the last week. We prepare your year-end financial statements from start to finish, correctly and on time, in line with the:

  • Accounting Act - Estonian GAAP (or IFRS where it applies)
  • Commercial Code - submission to the Äriregister (Commercial Register)
  • Income Tax Act - 0% tax on retained profit, 22/78 on distributions

What Goes Into the Report

  • Balance sheet and income statement
  • Notes to the accounts (mandatory for OÜs)
  • Management report where required
  • Profit distribution proposal and dividend calculation
  • Prior-year comparatives and related-party disclosures

Do You Need an Audit or a Review?

Most small companies need neither - but crossing the thresholds two years running makes it mandatory, so it pays to know where you stand:

  • Audit - required if you exceed at least two of three: €5M sales revenue, €2.5M total assets, 50 employees (or any one of €15M / €7.5M / 180).
  • Review (lighter than an audit) - required at at least two of three: €2M revenue, €1M assets, 24 employees (or any one of €6M / €3M / 72).

We assess your figures early and coordinate the auditor if you need one, so it never becomes a June surprise.

Filing - XBRL to the Commercial Register

Estonian annual reports are filed electronically in XBRL taxonomy. We convert your statements to the correct taxonomy, generate the file, and submit it through the e-Business Register - no paper, no portal wrestling. Copies go to the Tax Board where required, and everything is archived for the 7-year retention rule.

How We Work

You provide (by 30 April) - finalized year-end transactions, inventory reports if applicable, and any loan or lease agreements.

We prepare (1–20 May) - draft financial statements, a tax-optimization review, and dividend proposals for the shareholders.

We file (1–20 June) - XBRL generation, Äriregister e-filing, and Tax Board copies where needed - comfortably before the 30 June cutoff.

Frequently asked questions

What is the annual report filing deadline in Estonia?
The annual report must be filed within six months after the end of the financial year. For companies on a calendar financial year, the deadline is 30 June. Even a dormant company with no activity must file a report.
Does my company need an audit or a review?
An audit is mandatory if you exceed at least two of three thresholds - €5M sales revenue, €2.5M total assets, or 50 employees (or any one of €15M / €7.5M / 180). A lighter review is required at €2M / €1M / 24 (or any one of €6M / €3M / 72). Most small OÜs fall below both. We assess your figures and tell you clearly which, if any, applies.
What happens if the annual report is late or not filed?
The Commercial Register issues a warning and can impose recurring fines, and after a prolonged delay it can begin compulsory deletion of the company from the register. Filing late also blocks distributing dividends and can complicate banking and financing.
Can the annual report still be filed after the deadline?
Yes. We prepare and submit the overdue report as quickly as possible to stop further fines, restore the company’s good standing, and get you back to distributing profit.
How is profit taxed when I distribute it?
Estonia taxes only distributed profit: retained earnings are not taxed, and dividends are taxed at 22/78 of the net amount (22% since 2025). We calculate the distribution and its tax as part of the report.
