Setting up a company in Estonia is a crucial step towards doing business in the European Union. However, it’s just as important to follow legal obligations, including timely submission of your financial report. Missing deadlines can result in severe penalties, such as fines or even the removal of your company from the Commercial Register.
In 2023, stricter regulations were introduced to ensure compliance with year-end reporting rules. These changes have given the Business Register more authority to impose fines and remove non-compliant companies from the register.
