Quick answer: every Estonian OÜ must organise accounting and file an annual report, but a separate monthly accounting service is mainly needed when the company has regular transactions, VAT obligations, payroll, OSS reporting, or ongoing business activity. Dalanta Accounting OÜ uses a base fee of €59 per month plus €1.65 per transaction, with VAT, OSS, payroll and annual report work priced separately where needed.

Who needs monthly accounting in Estonia?

An Estonian company must keep accounting records and submit annual reports. Monthly accounting becomes the practical service choice when there is recurring activity, monthly tax reporting, payroll, or enough transactions that year-end cleanup would create unnecessary risk.

Usually a fit for monthly accounting

  • Your company has regular income, expenses or bank activity
  • Your company is registered for VAT in Estonia
  • You pay salary, board-member fees or contractor-related taxable payments
  • You sell through Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, Stripe, PayPal or similar platforms
  • You want accounting records kept current before annual report season

If the company has no activity

A company with no transactions still needs proper annual reporting. Depending on the company’s status and obligations, monthly work may be minimal, but the company should still keep records and prepare the annual report correctly.

For dormant or very low-activity companies, ask for a workload-based recommendation before assuming a full monthly package is needed.

What counts as a transaction in Estonian accounting?

A transaction is usually any bank, payment processor or accounting entry that must be reviewed, categorised and recorded. Payment processors and marketplaces can create more accounting entries than founders expect.

Common transaction examples

  • Incoming customer payments and card payments
  • Outgoing supplier payments and subscriptions
  • Wise, Revolut and bank transfers
  • Stripe, PayPal and marketplace settlements
  • Payment processor fees, refunds and reimbursements

Why volume matters

A simple consulting company may have a small number of entries each month. An e-commerce company may have many small payment and fee entries, which increases accounting time even if revenue is still modest.

How monthly accounting works in practice

Monthly accounting is easiest when documents, bank statements and sales data arrive consistently. The process below keeps annual reporting and tax filings from becoming a last-minute cleanup project.

1

Provide documents

You provide bank statements, payment exports, sales invoices, purchase invoices and receipts.

2

Record transactions

The accountant records and categorises income, expenses, fees, transfers and supporting documents.

3

Submit filings

VAT, OSS and payroll reports are submitted to the Estonian Tax and Customs Board when required.

VAT, OSS and payroll reporting

VAT registration in Estonia is generally mandatory when taxable turnover exceeds €40,000 from the beginning of a calendar year. VAT may also be relevant earlier for EU trade, platform requirements, intra-EU transactions, or strategic reasons.

VAT returns

Once registered for VAT, monthly VAT declarations are generally required. Dalanta Accounting OÜ can prepare and submit VAT returns where included in scope.

OSS declarations

OSS may apply to certain EU cross-border sales to consumers. The correct treatment depends on the product, customer type, location and sales channel.

Payroll reporting

Salary, board-member fees and certain taxable payments may create payroll and tax declaration obligations.

Last checked: 29 May 2026. VAT thresholds and filing requirements can change. Check current rules on the Estonian Tax and Customs Board VAT registration page or ask Dalanta Accounting OÜ to review your setup.

Annual report and monthly accounting

Every Estonian company must submit an annual report. When bookkeeping is maintained monthly, annual report preparation is usually a structured year-end process instead of a reconstruction of the whole year.

Why monthly work helps

  • Missing invoices are noticed earlier
  • VAT and payroll issues can be corrected sooner
  • Management has a clearer view of profit, costs and taxes
  • Annual report preparation has fewer surprises
