Preparing an annual disclosure is a mandatory task for any business operating in Estonia. The cost of this service varies based on several factors, such as whether your company was active, the volume of transactions, and the quality of your accounting records. To better understand this process, check out how to prepare an annual report, accounting services available, and deadlines for submitting reports.
For Active Companies
If your company was economically active during the year, preparing the annual report becomes more involved. Active companies typically have more financial transactions, which leads to greater complexity in organizing and processing the necessary data.
Several factors will influence the overall cost and complexity of the report preparation, including:
- Transaction Volume: More transactions mean more time for data processing.
- Document Quality: Well-maintained records speed up the process.
- Industry Requirements: Specific sectors may have unique reporting rules or tax regulations.
On average, the cost of preparing a financial disclosure for an active company is around 500 euros but can vary based on business specifics.
For Inactive Companies
If your Estonian company had no transactions during the year, the cost of preparing and submitting the annual disclosure is significantly lower. The minimum fee starts at around 150 euros, covering the preparation and submission of the required forms to the tax authorities.
