Buyer's right in force; no B2B date set
Betrifft mich das?
Zwei Fragen. Bei der Regel zur festen Niederlassung machen die meisten ausländischen Unternehmen Fehler.
Is your business established in Estonia (registered office, branch or fixed establishment)?
Do you issue domestic B2B invoices in Estonia?
Estonia: likely outside the issuing mandate — watch e-reporting / cross-border
VAT registration or trading alone, without a fixed establishment, usually keeps you outside Estonia's issuing obligation — but you may still face e-reporting or need to receive structured e-invoices. Confirm your establishment status.
Not in scope for Estonia
With no establishment and no registration or trade in Estonia, the mandate doesn't apply to you today. Revisit this if you open a branch, warehouse or start supplying into Estonia.
In scope — issue structured e-invoices in Estonia
No general issuing mandate is in force or legislated. Since 1 Jul 2025 you must issue an EN 16931 e-invoice when a buyer registered as an e-invoice recipient in the Commercial Register asks for one.
In scope to receive in Estonia
No receiving mandate exists; registering as an e-invoice recipient lets you demand e-invoices from suppliers.
