Company car in Estonia
As an EU citizen you have the right to drive an EU-registered car in all Member States. Because the car is owned and registered in Estonia, the estonian tax rules applies for the car. Estonia does not have company cars benefit value and the owner of the car (the company) pays instead a special car fee in tax, this fee is 217 EUR per month and car.
NB! The car fee is fixed and is not dependent on the car's purchase price, brand, model, or value.
Estonian car
You have basically three options when it comes to buying a car for your Estonian company: buying a new car, directly in Estonia, with EU warranty. Buy a used car, directly in Estonia. Exporting a car from abroad to Estonia and re-register the car in Estonia. In Tallinn there are a number of car dealers that sells new or nearly new cars in the higher price classes. The web page www.auto24.ee exposes various car traders variety.
VAT and financing
If you choose to buy or lease the car in Estonia you can deduct all the VAT (in Estonia is VAT 20%).
There are two ways to lease cars in Estonia:
- Operating lease: Deposit between 0-20% and a lease term between 1-6 years with a predetermined residual value. With this lease terms, VAT is 100% tax deductible and taxdeductions made monthly.
- Capital rent: Deposit between 0-20% and a lease term between 1-6 years with no residual value. With this lease terms, the VAT is a 100% tax deductible and tax deduction will take place immediately after purchase. This lease form, we believe is by far the most favorable for a new company when the VAT is refunded at one point. (Can be tentatively used to pay the lease fee, perhaps for 1 year). If you want to use your Estonian company as a supplier of car (s) to other companys, or to you privately, so must your Estonian company be able to show sales and profit. This is to the Estonian finance company that shall grant the lease with your estonian company. If your Estonian company has no sales or profit it may work out with a so-called "guaranty of payment" from other company or from yourself.
