Tax advice

Grow tax consulting

When does a company need tax advice?

The need for tax advice usually arises when something changes. A company is growing, hiring its first employees, starting operations in another country, or facing a transaction with unclear tax consequences. We help both start-ups and large companies with any tax-related issues.

Grow advises companies and always takes a case-by-case approach. Every tax issue is different and the solution must fit the client's actual business operations. We offer support with both one-off issues and long-term tax planning.

Consulting on VAT issues both in Estonia and across borders

VAT is an area where mistakes can be costly. We advise on VAT-related issues in both domestic and cross-border transactions: when VAT must be charged, when a transaction is zero-rated, and how registering as a VAT payer affects a company's daily operations. Cross-border transactions come with additional rules that vary from country to country and change frequently. Therefore, it is worth checking VAT issues before issuing a cross-border invoice, not after.

Evaluating the costs and benefits of business activities

The correct tax treatment of business activities and other expenses, such as fringe benefits, requires constant awareness. We help you evaluate different types of expenses and benefits so that they are treated correctly for taxation and do not cause unpleasant surprises later.

International and cross-border taxation

When a company operates in several countries or plans to expand, questions arise that an Estonian accountant may not be able to answer. We help you understand how the tax systems of different countries work, what the reporting obligations are and where the risk of double taxation arises. The same applies if an Estonian company has a customer, supplier or employee in another country.

Taxation of employees and cross-border work

Taxing an employee becomes especially complicated when work is performed across national borders or when the payment includes additional benefits that are not just a regular salary. We advise on how to correctly record fringe benefits, missions and cross-border work in accounting and how to pay taxes on them to avoid unpleasant surprises with the tax authorities.

Of course, you can contact us earlier. We also help start-up companies. When and how do you have to pay income tax? How to declare salaries? Contact us and we will explain the nuances that are important to you.

Taxation of transactions: sale, purchase and rental

Selling, buying or renting out property entails a tax liability, the amount of which depends on the form of the transaction and the parties. Before finalizing the transaction, it is worth checking which solution is the best in terms of taxation. Sometimes a small difference in the structure of the contract is what determines how much tax is ultimately paid.

Double taxavoidance of trust

Just because the same income can be taxed by two countries at the same time, doesn't mean it has to be that way. Many countries have signed tax treaties with each other that regulate which country has the right to tax. We help implement these treaties so that the same income is not taxed twice.

Taxes when restructuring a company

A merger, division or change in the structure of a company also brings with it tax issues that are worth considering before, not after, making a decision. We will help you assess which form of restructuring makes sense from a tax perspective and what obligations it entails.

Purchase and sale of holdings and tax advice on mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

If you are planning to sell a stake, buy a business or take over a business, the structure of the transaction directly affects how much tax is due and when. We advise both the seller and the buyer to thoroughly consider the transaction from a tax perspective.

If your company also operates in Finland

Many Estonian companies today also have customers, partners or business operations in Finland. This brings with it its own tax rules that differ from those in Estonia, and knowing them helps to avoid costly mistakes. Grow also advises on cross-border tax issues between Estonia and Finland and helps if necessary Finnish accounting.
