Registration as a VAT payer

The obligation to register as a person liable to VAT arises if the supply of the transactions specified in subsection 3 of § 19¹ of the Value Added Tax Act, the place of supply of which is Estonia, exceeds 40,000 euros from the beginning of the year. An economic operator whose intra-Community acquisition of goods exceeds 10,000 euros as calculated from the beginning of a year is registered as liable to value added tax with limited liability. A parent undertaking and its subsidiaries can be registered as a value added tax group. For both registration and deletion from the register, an application must be submitted to the Estonian Tax and Customs Board.
