Zero Annual Report in Estonia: A Complete Guide for Entrepreneurs and E-Residents

Filing an annual report in Estonia on time is a fundamental duty of every business owner, even if the company had no active operations. Many entrepreneurs mistakenly believe that if a firm's income is zero, submitting an annual report is not required. However, in Estonia, a zero annual report (dormant report) is a mandatory document for everyone, including companies managed by e-residents and non-residents.

If your Estonian company requires annual report preparation and you are looking for a reliable specialist, remember: timely submission directly affects your firm's status in the Business Register. An experienced accountant will help you correctly format the reporting — even in situations where only the share capital is reflected and no actual business activity occurred.

Keep in mind that the prices for accounting services for preparing zero reports are significantly lower than the potential fine for failure to file. A timely report for the previous year is a guarantee that your company registration in Estonia remains valid, and your accounts in banks or payment systems will not be blocked.

At Fedelta Accounting, we offer high-quality accounting services in Estonia, ensuring that your financial reporting is prepared quickly, transparently, and in full compliance with the law.

Why Is It Important to File a Report Without Activity?

Even if your company is "dormant," it remains a legal entity with specific obligations. A zero report confirms to the state that the company still exists but had no income.
Main Risks of Ignoring Reporting:

• Compulsory Liquidation: The Business Register has the right to delete a company if the report is not submitted within a few months after the deadline.
• E-Residency Issues: Violating Estonian laws can lead to the cancellation of your digital e-resident card.
• Bank Blacklists: Financial institutions constantly check the reporting status of their clients. Lack of data is a common reason for account closure.

What Exactly Is Included in a Zero Annual Report?

Despite the name "zero," the report must contain several key sections. In Estonia, preparing this type of reporting includes:

• Balance Sheet (Bilanss): Even if there were no operations, the balance sheet reflects the share capital and the overall financial state of the company.
• Management Report (Tegevusaruanne): This is a narrative part where a board member describes why the company had no activity during the reporting year and what business plans are envisioned for the future.
• Statement of Changes in Equity: It is important to ensure that equity does not become negative due to annual maintenance costs (e.g., for a legal address).

Deadlines and Filing Procedure in 2026

The standard financial year in Estonia coincides with the calendar year. This means that the company's annual report for 2025 must be submitted by June 30, 2026.
The filing process is as follows:

1. The accountant prepares the data in the electronic Business Register environment.
2. A board member logs into the system using Smart-ID, e-Residency, or an ID card.
3. The board member approves the report and signs it with a digital signature.
