The annual report in Estonia is not just a formality, but a legally binding document for all Estonian companies, including those owned by e-residents and non-residents. Timely submission of the annual report is a key requirement of Estonian law and directly affects your company's tax residency and reputation. The submission deadline is strictly set: no later than six months after the end of the financial year (for most companies, this is
June 30th).

What is an annual report and who must file it?An annual report is a set of documents reflecting the company's financial position and performance results for the reporting period.
- Obligation: Every company registered in Estonia is required to submit a report, regardless of whether it was active during the reporting year (a so-called "nil report").
- Purpose: Ensuring financial transparency for the state, investors, and partners.
Mandatory Submission DeadlinesFor most companies whose financial year coincides with the calendar year (ending December 31st):
- Deadline: June 30th of the following year.
- Important: The report is submitted exclusively through the electronic environment of the Estonian Commercial Register. In exceptional cases, it can be filed via a notary, but this process is complex, time-consuming, and involves notary office queues.
Requirements for Content and PreparationThe report must be prepared in accordance with Estonian Financial Reporting Standards (
Estonian GAAP) or
IFRS.
Main parts of the report:- Balance Sheet (Bilanss).
- Income Statement (Kasumiaruanne).
- Cash Flow Statement (Rahavoogude aruanne) – for larger companies.
- Management Report (Tegevusaruanne), describing activities and key indicators.
