- Political stability:Estonia is a democratic and peaceful state, and the country’s stability and international credibility are further underpinned by its membership of the EU, the WTO and NATO.
- Economic stability:Although economic growth has slowed of late, the Estonian Government welcomes foreign investment with open arms, a policy reflected in the country’s favorable flat tax system. Sound macroeconomic management has led to a strong banking system, and while the euro has brought costs, such as labor costs, more into line with the rest of the EU, they remain broadly lower than in Western Europe.
- Location:Estonia is situated at the crossroads of Eastern Europe, Russia and Scandinavia and is well connected to these territories by sea, road and air.
- Tax:Corporate and personal income taxes are comparatively low and simple thanks to the introduction of a flat tax, while corporations pay no tax on undistributed and reinvested profits. Withholding taxes are also favorable, and Estonia has a large network of double tax avoidance treaties. Estonia is therefore an ideal hub for export, trading and holding company activities.
- Technology:Estonia has invested fairly heavily in telecommunications infrastructure.
- Speedy, Efficient and consistent Services.
- Relentless effort to obtain bank accounts.
- Expert advice on structuring options.
- Dedicated ongoing compliance support.
