Registration as a VAT payer

The obligation to register as a person liable to VAT arises if the supply of the transactions specified in subsection 3 of § 19¹ of the Value Added Tax Act, the place of supply of which is Estonia, exceeds 40,000 euros from the beginning of the year. An economic operator whose intra-Community acquisition of goods exceeds 10,000 euros as calculated from the beginning of a year is registered as liable to value added tax with limited liability. A parent undertaking and its subsidiaries can be registered as a value added tax group. For both registration and deletion from the register, an application must be submitted to the Estonian Tax and Customs Board.

In e-Business Register

An economic operator can submit the application for registration as a person liable to VAT in e-Business Register as a part of the first entry petition of a private limited company.

The application for VAT registration is sent from the e-Business Register to the Tax and Customs Board using the X-tee data exchange layer service after the economic operator has been entered in the register.

Previously registered economic operators can be registered for VAT purposes in e-MTA.
