Estonia E-residency
Collapse

This bit is interesting:
Estonia has a unique income tax system where corporate income tax is charged on profit distribution (i.e., dividends) only, and is capped at 20%. As long as you keep your profits within the company, you will not have to pay any corporate income taxes. And, Estonia has a flat 20% tax on individual income that does not apply to personal dividend income.Comment

And this one:
0% company income tax until distributions are made, which means more money to invest (please check whether your company is subject to taxation in another jurisdiction).Comment

I know of a contractor/freelancer working in a Eurozone country who has Estonian e-residency. He declares some of his income in the country in which he's working and takes his dividends from and pays the corresponding tax (20%) to Estonia. Is this possible here?Originally posted by KentDogWalker View PostLots of contractors talking about, Estonia E-residency.

@woohoo, @ northernladyuk I presume you'd have to invoice straight into your Estonian account, is that right? Would it be zero VAT in that case?Comment

Wooosh. That is the sound of sarcasm going over your head.Originally posted by Malcovitch View Post@woohoo, @ northernladyuk I presume you'd have to invoice straight into your Estonian account, is that right? Would it be zero VAT in that case?
Are you aware it is a minimum aggressive avoidance and probably evasion?Comment
