Annual Report 2025: Everything You Need to Know

What is the Annual Report?

The Annual Report is a mandatory document comprising two main components: the annual accounts and the management report. It must strictly adhere to the Estonian legislation’s format and guidelines. Submitting your Annual Report on time boosts your company’s reputation and ensures compliance with the Estonian Commercial Registry.

What is the Financial Year?

The financial year typically spans 12 months, often aligning with the calendar year. In special cases, such as when a company is established, dissolved, or changes the start date of its financial year, the period may be shorter or longer (up to 18 months).

Key points about the financial year:
