Estonia annual report deadline: 30 June, and what happens after it

When is the Estonia annual report deadline?

The Estonia annual report deadline is 30 June for a company whose financial year is the calendar year. That is six months after the end of the financial year. You file the report with the Commercial Register. The 2025 report was due by 30 June 2026, and the 2026 report is due by 30 June 2027.

What must be filed by the deadline?

The report you file by 30 June contains the financial statements and a profit distribution proposal. Some companies must also include a management report.

• A balance sheet as at the financial year end, showing what the company owns and owes.
• An income statement for the year, showing income and costs.
• Notes to the accounts, including required disclosures such as related-party transactions and the number of employees.
• A management report, where the company is required to include one.
• A profit distribution proposal.

You submit it in Estonian through the Company Registration Portal, in the register's structured format. A PDF of a spreadsheet is not accepted as an annual report.

Do dormant companies have to meet the deadline?

Yes, a dormant company with no bank movements and no revenue must file its annual report by the same 30 June deadline. The report is short and the fee to prepare it is small, but the obligation is the same. In our experience, this is the most common reason e-Residency companies end up in enforcement proceedings. The owner assumed that no activity meant no filing.

What happens if you miss the deadline?

Missing the deadline can lead to fines, usually from a few hundred euros to several thousand, and compulsory deletion proceedings can begin as early as three months later.

The consequences come in stages:

• The missing report shows on the company's public register record straight away. Banks, payment providers and business partners can see it.
• The register sends a notice and gives you time to file voluntarily.
• Fines follow. They usually range from a few hundred euros to several thousand, and they can be imposed more than once. They apply to the company and to board members personally, wherever those board members live.
• Compulsory deletion proceedings can begin as early as three months after the original deadline, which is around September for a calendar-year company.

Can a deleted company be restored after missing the deadline?

Yes, a deleted company can be restored by applying to the court within three years of deletion. The missing reports must be filed and a state fee paid. This is slower and more expensive than filing late would have been, but it is possible.

A timeline to meet the 30 June deadline

To meet the 30 June deadline, close the year by March, prepare and review the report in April and May, and sign and file before the end of June.

1. January to March: close the year, reconcile balances, resolve open items.
2. April to May: prepare and review the report.
3. Before 30 June: sign digitally and file.

Do not leave it to the last week of June. The portal is busiest then, and a question about opening balances found on 28 June leaves very little time to answer it.

If you would rather we did it, our annual report filing service prepares and files the report, and it is included in every monthly plan. For the filing steps themselves, see how to file an annual report.
