CIT Estonian
Estonian CIT is an innovative system of taxation of companies, enabling minimization of tax burdens and simplification of accounting. Find out how Estonian CIT can change the way your company manages taxes.
Estonian CIT is a lump sum tax on company revenues, which eliminates the need to conduct tax accounting and determine the costs of obtaining revenues. Tax is paid only when profit is paid, which allows for better control over the company’s finances.

What are the benefits of Estonian CIT?
Estonian CIT offers benefits such as a lower effective tax rate compared to classic CIT, and the ability to allocate funds for purposes related to the company’s current operations without tax burden until the profit is paid.
1.
Taxation only occurs when profits are distributed
Estonian CIT taxes a company’s income only when it is paid out, which means that it is not taxed as long as it remains in the company and is reinvested. This gives companies better financial liquidity and creates greater opportunities for growth and development.
2.
Simple tax settlements
This system is characterized by a simplified tax settlement procedure. The lack of the need to pay tax in the case of reinvestment of profits eliminates the need to make monthly or quarterly advance payments, which simplifies accounting processes.
3.
Support for investments
and development
Estonian CIT is particularly beneficial for companies that plan to invest in development. Thanks to the possibility of deferring tax burdens until the distribution of profits, enterprises can manage capital more effectively and invest in new projects or technologies.
4.
Transparency
and tax predictability
This system offers greater transparency and predictability. Companies are better able to plan their finances because tax burdens are more predictable and directly related to the distribution of profits.
