If you live in Germany and pay yourself a salary from an Estonian company, then you will only pay taxes in Germany and no taxes in Estonia.

The 20% Estonian corporate tax does not apply to salaries for non-residents, but for things like dividends.

P.S. Leapin is a company that specializes in accounting for online businesses looking to establish a presence in Estonia. You can find some more info on this stuff on their website:

If you work on your own estonian company, but don't pay yourself money (all money are keeps on company's account) Is it a way?


This depends on how your home country treats the money on your company account, so its hard to say.

As far as Estonia is concerned you will not pay any taxes with them until you take out dividends or similar.
