Estonia Corporate Tax Overview
Estonia operates a unique corporate tax system: 0% tax on retained and reinvested profits, with tax only payable upon distribution. The 2025 rate is 22% on distributed profits (increasing to 24% from 2026), calculated using a grossing-up formula: tax = distribution × (rate / (100 - rate)).
This system encourages business reinvestment and simplifies compliance, as no corporate tax returns are required for undistributed profits. Dividends received from qualified subsidiaries (≥10% holding for ≥12 months) are exempt from corporate tax.
From 2025, Estonia eliminated the 7% personal income tax withholding on dividends paid to residents, streamlining dividend taxation. Fringe benefits are taxed monthly at 22% on the grossed-up value. Estonia's e-Residency program allows global entrepreneurs to run EU companies entirely online.
