Talking about taxes, it's worth mentioning that according to Estonian law, there are united taxation rules for all legal entities including nonprofit organizations: no corporate income tax, a social tax that is 33%, and income tax is 20%. VAT rules are the same, too (read more about VAT in Estonia

So, what are the tax preferences for NPOs everyone is talking about?
NPOs have several non-taxable expenses such as accommodation, transport, entertainment, and tax-free limits for some types of expenses. Other tax exemptions are for public benefit organizations (PBO) only. Each NPO can
submit an application for a status of public benefit and charitable organization for getting tax incentives. But it doesn't mean that all nonprofit associations suit these requirements — you should consider it to be a nice possibility, not a necessity.
