How long does the Estonian tax board take to register my company for VAT?

The Estonian Tax and Customs Board decides within five working days of receiving the application. You apply in the e-MTA self-service portal, and voluntary registration is possible before you reach the threshold. Plan the application so the VAT number is in place before your first taxable sale.
