Estonia is a great country for an expansion, especially if you want to form ties to other countries in Europe. While expanding to Estonia offers many benefits, there are also a few challenges to consider. You’ll need to set up your Estonia payroll before you begin hiring employees and giving out compensation and benefits
Instead of worrying about the different Estonia payroll options, G-P offers a better route. As a global Employer of Record (EOR), companies can leverage our existing subsidiary to hire employees and streamline payroll in Estonia. Instead of navigating the complexities of global expansion alone, your teams will be paid on time and compliantly with G-P by your side.
Taxation rules in Estonia
Estonia has a robust and complicated tax law system that applies to both employers and employees. Werkgevers moeten een sociale belasting betalen tot 33% van het brutosalaris voor alle werknemers, en de drempel hangt af van de staat. Daarnaast gaat 20% van de totale belasting naar de pensioenverzekering en 13% naar de ziektekostenverzekering.
Het socialezekerheidsstelsel van Estland omvat zowel premie- als premievrije uitkeringen, zoals:
- Ziektekostenverzekering
- Werkloosheidsverzekering
- Werkloosheidsuitkeringen
- Voordelen voor het gezin
- Voordelen voor gehandicapten
- Uitvaartvoordelen
- Pensioenverzekering
Estonia payroll options for companies
You can choose 1 of several Estonia payroll options, including:
- Internal: Larger subsidiaries committed to working in Estonia long term may want to create an internal payroll. Keep in mind, however, that with this option, you’ll need a large HR team and an expert to help you stay compliant.
- Estonia payroll processing company: Working with an Estonia payroll processing company is a way to outsource your payroll, but your business will still be held responsible for the local company’s actions or any compliance issues that may arise.
- G-P: The easiest way to run payroll in Estonia and stay compliant is partnering with an Employer of Record (EOR) like G-P. With us, you can rest assured that all employees will be paid on time and compliantly, freeing you to focus on other important aspects of your business.
How to set up a payroll in Estonia
You cannot set up an Estonia payroll until you incorporate in the country and set up a subsidiary. This lengthy process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on where you are and what type of entity you choose.
But you won’t have to worry about this requirement when you work with a global EOR such as G-P. We streamline payroll services in Estonia so you can begin working in a fraction of the time, without the hassle of entity setup.
Voorwaarden voor recht/beëindiging
Figuring out entitlement and termination terms before choosing an Estonia payroll option will help you create a clear agreement between you and your new hires.
Estonia allows probationary periods for up to 4 months, and notice periods range from 15 to 90 calendar days, depending on how long the employee has worked for the company.
